About SAMSUNG 990 PRO w/Heatsink SSD 4TB
Overall Feedback:
79% positive
69% praised for its rugged durability, while 31% experienced hardware failure
There seems to be something wrong with my drive as the S.M.A.R.T. Health Status is dropping rapidly.
Within 5 months of regular use, my SSD failed completely with no warning signs, resulting in the loss of almost 4TB of working data.
We experienced a lifespan issue with the drive and Samsung was slow to address it.
I am not sure about the reliability of the SSD as it was cooking for quite a long time.

67% appreciated its low power consumption, though 33% noticed higher energy usage
In less than 60 Power On Hours, my S.M.A.R.T. Health Status has already dropped 3%.
I have been experiencing issues with my 990 Pro drive in my computer. It reports 84C (184F) after a few hours to a day or so of uptime and the only way to reset it is to completely power off. A simple reboot doesn't fix it. I have tried other drives and they did not get as hot as the 990 Pro. I am worried that this drive will have more issues.
After three and a half months of very light use, my internal solid-state drive is now at 94% health.
78% praised for its lightning-fast read and write speeds, but 22% experienced slower performance
I typically get read speeds of 6500 to 6800 and write speeds of 5500 to 6500. It's rare to push the SSD to its top limits, and one won't feel a speed difference that small.
The SSD is 30% faster on random reads, but I couldn't notice it other than the benchmark.
66% appreciated the silent operation, though 34% noticed some noise
The SSD cooked for quite a long time, which is not ideal for silent operation of internal-solid-state-drives.
My drive's performance dropped by more than 20% within days of getting it.
