Samsung 980 Pro 500GB M.2

As always, I bought an SSD from Coolblue because of the good service, attractive price and good communication. It concerns the Samsung 980 Pro 2TB SSD with heatsink. However, just after purchase, let news become known of many copies of this that spontaneously break, as can be read here on the website of Tweakers: https://tweakers.net/nieuws/206236/samsung-raadt-aan-980-pro-ssds- update-to-bug-making-drives-read-only.html The funny thing is that Coolblue couldn't possibly have known this for itself. As we can read everywhere now, it is very important to install the latest firmware version on this SSD as soon as possible: 5B2QGXA7. This can be done via https://semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/support/tools/ The funny thing is that maybe there are people like me who buy this SSD for their PS5 and don't have a free NVMe M2 port on their PC or laptop. Then upgrading firmware is impossible. I think it is important for Coolblue to include this information with this model from now on and / or to contact Samsung, asking whether models that are now being delivered are now equipped with this new firmware (I have already done this myself and still waiting for an answer, if I can update this review with new information I will do so immediately). That is why I have given reliability 2 stars for the time being and cannot recommend the product so far.

Satisfies more than the ps5 asks

Don't be fooled by the "Summary Specifications". It states that the 1TB variant has a Max Write Speed of 2700 MB/s and a Maximum Read Speed of 6400 MB/s - this is not correct. See below: 1tb = 7000MB/s max read & 5000MB/s max write 500gb = 6900MB/s max read speed & 5000MB/s max write speed 250gb = 6400 MB/s max read speed & 2700 MB/s max write speed You can also find this in the Manual that you can download.
