Guess Samsung is on the do not buy list like Adata and WD/SanDisk. I'll stick to Intel for for SSDs with PCs, since I've always been happy with Intel. If the chip swap was similar to the original and was neutral in terms of performance then I'd say no harm no foul.
As far as the WD SSDs go, they are okay but that's because of SanDisk - and even then, the WD SN730 in my 7490 (i5 8th gen - 8300U/TPM 2.0) has meh performance - I know it can do better with the CPU core count (4C/8T=4 physical, 4 virtual) since I’ve seen how the 7600p Pro (lacks the suicide bit AFAIK, due to the use of a Silicon Motion controller) wakes up a i5-6200U 2C/4T laptop. I’m not impressed with the SN730, but also not disappointed to the point I want to change it for a Intel SSD at this time. About the only thing I don’t hate about it is the fact it has a controller that doesn’t run at 69C+ with mild reads where you’re writing data to another SSD (I’m looking at you, SK Hynix BC511). I’ve seen those BC511 drives run hot in other Dells - no wonder the 7490 shipped with a heatsink - they drop like flies in the desktops which lack it! My SN730 has hit 55c before but borders in the 30c range on average so it’s nowhere near as bad, but I do heat it up under load to the point, yeah I kind of need to buy a heatsink.
This is the ONLY reason I still use it:

The issue for me is anything by Samsung, WD/SanDisk and Adata is more or less similar to Intel to the point I'd rather stick with Intel with how many vendors do this. The only difference is the firmware on these other drives doesn’t have a suicide bit in the firmware while Intel does (thanks, Sandforce).
Admittedly I’m not hard on SSDs but I’ve put a few TB on the TBW lifetime within 7 months before:

For me, I cannot tolerate these kind of endurance games. 2.6TBW in 7 months isn’t hard use, but it does show me if a brand is good. I also don’t use my phone for everything, so I just normally put more wear on SSDs then someone who uses a phone more then a computer. SSDs are a wear item for me, but not the computer it’s attached to unless it gets to be too old.

My usage is nothing compared to some - I once seen a OEM Dell SK Hynix 256GB (which I suspect is a 75TBW part, being OEM) which is also notorious for running hot without a heatsink with 10TBW in 1 year. Yep, wouldn’t trust that SSD for much when I inherit the system.

Guess Samsung is on the do not buy list like Adata and WD/SanDisk. I'll stick to Intel for SSDs at this point on the PC side - I've always been happy with Intel.
As far as the WD SSDs go, they are okay but that's because of SanDisk - and even then, the WD SN730 in my 7490 (8th gen/TPM 2.0) has meh performance. Not impressed, but also not disappointed. About the only thing I don’t hate about it is the fact it doesn’t heat up like the original Dell SK Hynix SSD - those hit 69C+ with no effort, while my SN730 has hit 55c before but borders in the 30c range.

Anything by Samsung and Adata is more or less similar to Intel to the point I'd rather stick with Intel with how many unknown vendors do this.

Even then I've also noticed the Intel drives also seem to run cooler anyway with similar performance and in some cases the same TBW lifetime ratings
