Storage 970 EVO vs WD Black 3D NVMe

[hat1324]

I just overnighted a WD NVMe SSD to replace ADATA that suddenly died.

But then I noticed that the 970 EVO is actually slightly cheaper than the WD. When did this happen? And is it better enough that I should bother returning the WD and order the Samsung?

The tech reviews seem to think that they are very close in performance, possibly with the WD having the edge. Anandtech has reviewed both so you can read the 970 review to get a feel for which you'd rather run.

Using the WD now. Performance is tops so I guess its OK
