Same here, but I feel obliged to offer this: The Samsung 860 QVO drives(which look like a great budget option) can be a can of worms! I bought one last year and was using it as a recording drive, and a few months in, it just dumped a lot of data by itself. 2 full projects either disappeared completely, or became corrupt enough that they refused to open at all. 1 project was backed up properly and only required a few minutes per song to get them back to 100%. The other project as not properly backed up(yes, my fault) and turned into a nightmare. I returned it to Samsung and they updated the firmware, but I still don't have enough confidence to put it back in service(for now, its an extra backup). PRO and EVO versions have been 100% reliable.
