Probably not the right community for this, but I've been searching for a new 2TB SSD for my Thinkpad T14 G1, It's only PCIe gen 3.0, so both are going to be limited by that anyway. I specifically need resonably fast sustained write speeds, and both of these can write at >1GB/s for 15 minutes. The Samsung seems to be the better choice, but I remember them having some data loss issues a while back and that is worrying me, and the P510 is quite new, so not much time for any issues to be found. I can get both of them for the exact same price, which of these is the better pick? The P510 also seems to use a bit more power, so maybe not a good idea for a laptop?

EDIT: Thanks for the help, ended up getting the Samsung 990 pro

I'm need to save high speed radio samples, think a single super high speed ~100MHz audio wav recording, so not really compressible and can use large block IO. Thankfully it's about as close to a synthetic write test as you could get. I ended up getting the Samsung
