THE DIFFERENCES, MADE VISIBLE

Visual facts

Differences first. Select a topic for its graphic, sources and conditions.

How to read this comparison
  • Manufacturer facts for the exact models shown. Not a quality rating or a test result.
  • “Different” means the known values differ, not that one is better.
  • Missing or conflicting evidence is marked and never counts as a difference. Source chips hold each fact’s sources and conditions.

Write rating

The manufacturer’s published total-write rating. Read each drive’s workload and warranty conditions below: a TBW rating is not always the warranty cutoff. It is not a predicted failure point or reliability score.

Gigabyte AORUS Gen4 73001,400 TB

Manufacturer specification · 2 TB value (1 TB: 700 TB), evaluated by the JEDEC workload standard; not a guaranteed failure point. The data sheet's extracted text lists the 2 TB (AG4732TB N) value first and the 1 TB (AG4731TB N) value second for each row.

Samsung 980 PRO1,200 TB

Manufacturer specification · Capacity-specific warranty write threshold, not a guaranteed failure point.

Explore the full specifications

Check the connection before the capacity. M.2 NVMe modules and 2.5-inch SATA drives are not interchangeable. Check the host’s protocol, slot or bay, power connection and clearance. Rated speeds use different test systems; we do not turn them into a speed score or overall winner.
