Question Samsung EVO 2TB SATA SSD vs Micron 1300 2TB SATA SSD

Can someone tell me which one is better? They're both priced around the same.

Both will perform about the same in "real world" use. The Samsung would likely be faster in synthetic benchmarks.

However, if priced similarly, I'd personally go with the Samsung as they are considered the "gold standard" when it comes to SSDs.

That said, you didn't say what the price was for these drives, and based on how NVMe pricing has fallen over the year, you likely could get a 2TB NVMe drive for around the same price, and they are much faster than SATA SSDs.

They’re both priced around $280. I plan to use two as a NAS on my Raspberry Pi 4B with USB 3.0 to SATA adapters so not sure if I can go with NVMe.

I don't you could use a NVMe drive with that, so a SATA SSD is your best bet.

Also, there are few drives that are less than that amount that are very solid drives as well. The Crucial MX500, or the Sandisk Ultra 3D & Western Digital Blue 3D (Sandisk is owned by WD, so it's basically the same with a different label) often are on sale around $200 on places like Newegg and Amazon.
