MTFDDAK1T9TGA vs MZ-77Q1T0
Micron MTFDDAK1T9TGA (1.92TB) versus Samsung MZ-77Q1T0 (1TB)
Verdict
For a NAS cache or any write-heavy pool, the MTFDDAK1T9TGA is the safer pick - the MZ-77Q1T0 uses QLC NAND, which wears out faster and slows down badly under sustained writes. Only consider the MZ-77Q1T0 for light, read-mostly storage.
