Old SSD failed

[GameChanger]

My old SSD has failed and I need a new one. The prices have gone through the roof since I last got one. Where are all the good drives gone? and wheres the good priced ones???

[Inland Aidan]

was it a sataIII or a NVME one?

[GlassKnight89]

I dont know. Will look inside.

[JustMartin]

If it was me
Samsung 980 PRO 1TB NVMe SSD
Crucial P3 Plus 1TB NVMe SSD
WD Black SN770 1TB NVMe SSD

Quick take:
Samsung = top tier
WD SN770 = best balance
Crucial = cheapest decent option

Avoid Sandisk. I usually got for Samsung but crazy prices unless you can get a used one.

I found the same thing. Not a life changer but it adds up.

That is the conclusion most people following it closely are landing on. That is my read on it anyway.

That is the take I have had for a while. The squad depth is the real difference at the top level.

We will see how it plays out.

Yep, agree with that. Proper useful that.

[IronQuarry48]

Cannot really disagree with that. A lot of stuff sounds good until you actually spend a few hours with it.

Might go back to it.

[MiniElliot]

I thought that at first but it changed after a few hours. Might go back to it.

The first question I always ask is what changed just before the problem started.

[Paige_68]

There is something else going on in it I think. There is a lot more to say about this.

The event viewer usually tells you exactly what is happening if you know where to look.

[Harry64]

Good point. I have been wondering the same thing.

Appreciate the discussion.

Background processes and startup items cause more problems than hardware failures in my experience.

[StormForge89]

Yeah pretty much. Cheers.

[Megan34]

Can't argue with that. Ha, fair enough.

[BiscuitTin]

Fair enough. Nice one.
