Every time ive gone AMD ive had weird issues (aside from Steam Deck/Rog Ally which have their own issues).
I stopped building AMD systems/working on them for others.
Intels have less quirks, and better support from the start, same with Nvidia vs AMD.
Id rather spend the cash up front versus time in the long run.
Buddy just had a 970 Plus 1TB nvme die out of nowhere, one of the switcharoo models that samsung quietly swapped out tlc for qlc.
Its fairly widespread…

I rely on multi-ssd RAID arrays for work, as do many others in my line of work. None of us use TLC. Its cheaper and higher capacity, but NOT reliable.
only storage ive had fail since the seagate 1tb hdd days were qlc flash drives.
ive been running hdd’s and ssd’s, mostly tlc, since 2013 in RAID arrays with Areca cards. Before that was all HDD since the PCI-X days. Currently have 8x 4TB 850 Evos, theyd be 8TB but only QLC available in that capacity.
I have never had a tlc drive die on me, only qlc and only recently.
i hear you on cheaper storage, but reliability and speed matter as well, primarily reliability in my case.
qlc is not reliable enough, and these speeds suck balls.
…So does a chunk of metal.

ZERO oversight.
