There is so much choice out there, and I am TRYING to research it, but it is a lot to take in. I am taking any and all polite suggestions and recommendations.

Any high-end TLC SSD with DRAM.

Fury Renegade, 990 Pro, 850x are all good choices.

Fury Renegade died on me without any warning nor any reason. M%ioght by lack of luck but the loss is immense so I wouldn't risk it if I were you.

My Kingston Fury Renegade 4 TB just died on me without any warning, I lost so much. I can't stress this enough when I say I don't recommand them.

their 870 evo sata ssd keep failing and they don't say anything about it. Also the 980 and 990 pro problems at launch (self degrading)

That's only relevant for professional workstation grade writing workloads and server usage.

For a typical system it's not remotely a factor, and just one company's experience.

Just trying to answer the question - why the OP is 'off' Samsung ssds.

check this for reliability: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/tbw-table-for-different-ssds-m-2-2280.320482/

I am heading for the Fury Renegade myself for a NAS due to higher TBW. I tis currently 15 EUR cheaper than the 990 Pros for a 4 TB.

I have Samsung in my system. I guess my build predates the their reliability issues.

Bighead910@reddit (OP)

I think it's just the 990 Pro, but that's the only internal SSD they sell with a 4 TB version. Can't risk it.

Check /r/newmaxx for a tier list.

I recognise the P3 plus as midrange, NV2 as low end and SN580X as high end.

Check out the high end NM790 from Lexar too.

1. 1. 1. 1. Cheapest out of those.

SN850X or Crucial P3 Plus.

Seagate firecuda if you don’t want the most reliable brand according to puget systems.

Or anything with dram tbh, especially at that capacity.
