I installed a Samsung 870 EVO 1TB in a laptop with a AMD chipset. I learned that Samsung EVO SSDs and AMD chipsets do not play well together. I had to disable NCQ in order to get rid of error messages that indicated the potential for data loss. Samsung (EVO) + Intel chipsets should be fine though. More reading here:

Wow. Thanks Gianluca You just saved me from a big mistake.
Please read comment #69. Actually I have a MS-7C56/B550-A PRO with Ryzen 5 3600 and the said Samsung 870 QVO 1TB - but YMMV :)
The NCQ issue is mostly with older AMD chipsets, not with all AMD chipsets. It has to do with the south bridge of some old AMD chipsets in combination with the particular controller of Samsung EVO SSDs. The problem has been reported to occur even with windows (with the particular chipset+Samsung EVO combination), so it is unrelated to the Linux kernel.
The commenter of post #69 in the link above had an intel system and the problems were not related to the SSD.
