I recently ordered a Samsung 990 Pro 2TB after experiencing issues with my ADATA Gammix S11 Pro 1TB drive, which is showing media errors and bad sectors. I'm looking for advice on whether the Samsung 990 Pro is a dependable long-term choice. In my area, it's priced at €210, which is competitive compared to other popular brands like WD Black and Crucial P510 at about €250. While there are cheaper options like ADATA and Lexar around €150, I prefer to invest a bit more for reliability considering the negative reviews on ADATA. I plan to use the Samsung SSD primarily for gaming and as my Windows installation drive, so I'm curious if others think this is a good decision or if I should cancel my order before it's too late.

The Samsung 990 Pro is indeed a top-quality drive. Just make sure you're on the latest firmware, as that can significantly enhance reliability. Most users have had good experiences with it.
It's a solid choice, but keep in mind that it can run pretty hot during heavy use. Just monitor the temperatures, especially while gaming.
Could the heat lead to any significant problems for the drive?
