WD over Crucial? That's really unexpected, guess I'll ditch Crucial over WD and Samsung now
gpt
Crucial are rock solid, there were some issues a few years ago with firmware, but I think they're past that. There also no "premium" versions of their SSDs comparing with WD or Samsung which we prefer depending on target user.

We have 2 workstations for video editing, one with Samsung Pro 980 (pci) and another with a WD SN850X. 
WD absolutely wrecks Samsung at video editing (at least with the experience we're having. Results may vary).
BUT: WD has higher temps, sooooo can't really tell how long it's going to last.

Depending on budget I always try to go Samsung first, WD second, crucial third. If nothing fits, I don't buy anything and the money appears real fast since our experience with off brands has been the worst.

We have around 100 machines with crucial SSDs and failure rate sits at around 5% (which is something, but isn't terrible). 
Samsung / WD sit at 0%.

I'm at this job for 4 years, seen hundreds of SSDs go, a lot from off brands, some Crucial, zero Samsung / WD.

Just wanted to give more feedback, since people might get the wrong idea.

PS: most of our infrastructure is either HP ProBooks or DELL Lattitude 5xxx. Some desktops for heavier workloads, but you can get the idea.
