Reason for Sale
Perfunctory
Had purchased it as a secondary drive. Only used it to sync my 1 TB OneDrive, so that is where the writes comes from over the past 5 months (0.2% of rated life thus far). At the end of the day, don't need the additional storage over my existing 2 TB drive.

Purchased from Amazon, so will include the invoice for the 5-year warranty that extends till Sep 2027. Will be selling it to the first person who agrees to the stated price, bargainers would probably have to wait.

For the inevitable comparison with a new WD Blue SN570, the 980 has the following advantages worth the premium:
  • Includes hardware-based AES-256 encryption which the SN570 does not support (probably the biggest differentiator)
  • Includes hybrid cache of around 170 GB compared to 12-13 GB dedicated cache for SN570 (longer sustained writes)
  • The Elpis controller in the 980 is about 50% more efficient than the WD one under load (lower power consumption)
  • Despite similar specs, the 980 usually has slightly higher read/write speeds in real life (slightly better performance)
