(Warning! A lot of text! Most interesting part is in the end! You don't have to read it all, but if you want to understand all of my concerns, please read. Thank you. )
OK, I'm not interested in how the data is written or anything like that, to be fair, but what I'm interested is is that... OK, first part will be the preface.
Windows writes temporary files to the computer, while you surf the Web the browser writes temp files to your computer, and everything like this, and everything like that. OK. Now, to the next part.
I may be writing a lot of data, and under a lot I don't mean tb/day or so, but I may download a game from Steam, and then uninstall it some time later. Then, after some time I may re-download it and re-start playing. Why uninstall it in the first place? Well, I may buy another game, which is as fun or even better than the first one. (My 1tb HDD is full, I have a lot of data. Not all of it is games/programs, but largest chunk of it is.) But then I might want to re-install the first game because I liked it so much I wanted to play it again. Or the programs. I don't really know how it works, but... let's say I have the Autodesk package. It updates every year, right? So, the installer/updater deletes the "obsolete" files and rewrites them with the newer ones. Right? Should I be concerned about the TBW in that case?
Let's go to the next part.
Is there any real advantage of M.2 over SATA SSD, and if I were to buy, say, Samsung 970 Pro vs 970 Evo vs 960... vs SATA SSD. Would it win? The 970 Pro. What I'm interested is not only the speed - that is very important factor to consider, but to me, what also matters is the TBW. I don't want to buy an SSD that will be useless in 5 years or so. I want it to be working for... years, like, 10s of years. I understand nothing lasts forever, but the longer, the better. And the faster the better, if it wins greatly.
After all of this, $500 for a 1tb SSD is a little too expensive, which is here comes the last question for today, and really, the only one worthy...
tl;dr:
Which SSD is best for all of these factors: speed, TBW, price. (Any other factors I need to add?)
P.S. A quick reminder: I want 1tb SSD. I understand I'm asking for too much, but I want the best products I can get and not overly expensive, if possible.
