XPG gammix s11 pro vs Samsung 980, which one to buy considering I am getting both for the same price

I'd get a WD Black 1-2TB SN850. The Samsung 980 has some known issues.

I wouldn't buy anything Adata since it was revealed that they swap in inferior performing components in existing products without disclosing that they did.

Samsung 980 is available for almost 2/3rd the price of WD SN850(1TB).
So, which one should i prefer and what are the known issues with the 980?

From what I've read, when it fills to a certain point, it starts having speed issues. It slows down and doesn't perform the same.

I saw it mentioned here the other day and on Reddit recently. I'm assuming it's still an issue and hasn't been fixed via a firmware update. Others may know more about it. I've never used ADATA but it's not a brand I know a lot about and avoid.

If we're talking about the newer low-end Samsung 980 (non-PRO) that's DRAMless, then the ADATA Gammix S11 Pro will definitely be faster, even if we don't know exactly which NAND flash memory they're currently using. https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2793?vs=2768
