As far as i can tell from reading here and other places, they are fast and good drives that . I am going to have to add a secondary drive (342 GB free of 1 TB lol).

For now going to uninstall games I am done with. Want to get an external for backup purposes as well, or at leaat case for m.2

I've had internal Samsung SSDs for years, and they are reliable and fast.

There was a problem with the 980 Pro that was discovered earlier in the year. However, it was fixed with a firmware update. If you get one of those, be sure to update the firmware.

Samsung makes great SSDs. I have an 840 Pro that has been running since 2013 with zero problems. In my newest machine I went with the 990 Pro. They rolled out the firmware update pretty quickly to fix the issue JamesAstro spoke about, so any recent purchase will already have it, but definitely check and make it a priority to update if it doesn't for some reason.

 I echo the above. Have an 850 PRO, 860 PRO, 970 PRO and a 980 PRO and never have had an issue and all run fast. The 850 PRO is close to 10 years old.

To clean up space in your drive, I have used CCleaner when my drive was getting close to full and it got rid of enough junk to get it below 1/2 full (512GB SSD). There are probably better programs today.
