A small note regarding SSD failure which is very rare, the answer is to do regular (planned/scheduled) backups. My preferred way is clone the drive which can be done on a slower device. If you have lots of data, cloning does take some time, but the result is that it provides a bootable result. With HW, the main use of the storage device is more used in the read mode. So fast read speed is a desirable feature. Not too long ago, I can recall either starting the computer and patiently (or impatiently) waiting for a sample set to load, or maybe leaving the computer run 24/7. With faster drives and faster RAMs, the wait time has been reduced considerably.
Just remember, whatever is state-of-the-art here and now, is already obsolete very soon. The analogy of driving a brand new car off the dealer's lot, it becomes a used car. The term future proofing is used, but for the most part that's difficult to achieve, but that's ok really. Some features don't make a great deal of difference vs their cost. So there exists the cost vs feature ratio. What's interesting is to watch the tech companies working to fill the demand gap. In the above Samsung 980, you 'll note it is backordered with a 14 to 21 day wait and a limit of 2 per customer. My 'strategy' is wait as the price will most likely come down and the wait time will become shorter. In the meantime, I'm quite happy with my EVO 970 Pro.
Be right back after the following commercial break. The commercial - I've become a satisfied (for the most part) customer of Amazon. There are many things to like in that regard. Suffice it to say, quoting a friend, "Amazon makes it too easy to buy from them, esp with their Prime service". End of commercial. I recall a phrase from a while back- try it, you'll like it.
