I am running both in gen3 mode and speed wise they are both overkill...
My main concern is endurance:
‐‐-------------
MP600 Force:
1800 TBW
1700000 MTBF
Comes with a heatsink
--------------
970 EVO Plus:
600 TBW
1500000 MTBF
No heatsink
-‐---------
At first sight it seems the MP600 Force has better endurance....but there is a catch:
Corsair force mp600 has dynamic slc caching....the tlc flash memory itself is used directly for caching...this could wear the drive faster.
Samsung 970 evo plus has a static slc caching. the slc cache is not on the tlc flash memory. It is separate....it is designed to last as long as the drive lives....once the static slc cache is all used up, tlc flash memory is used for caching...
My question:
Considering all the specs and the way the caching works...which SSD has the better endurance ?
