Recommend a good SSD for me!!

[Suitcase]

4.5 years?

these new technologies tend to fail in shorter life spans.

my newest HDD is almost 6 year old 1TB Seagate
i have over 4+ random branded HDDs in my pc.some are 8-9 years old.
still they perform like new.


but as a HDD they can't go beyond 80-90MB/s Read Write rate.
so somewhat slow compared to your devices.


I would recommend you to go for the Crucial and Samsung Products.

As they make best price to performance ratio SSDs.


If you can, buy from Amazon or Ebay legit seller.

Lifespan depends on the capacity and usage... Avg lifespan is like 5 still can fail before or may last longer than 6 yrs

ADATA 256 GB for budget

My ssd is giving me shit after serving for almost 4.5 years and now i gotta buy a new one. 256GB would be more than enough as i only need it for system drive and for some necessary software, pl refer a locally available product as i cannot wait for it to arrive from a overseas seller.

What is the brand of your SSD?
Usually, SSDs come with 5 yrs of warranty, right?

You are correct.. But here's the full take.

Current SSds use NAND flash storage. That is flash memory cells that can only be programmed and erased a limited number of times. This is referred to as P/E cycles. This can vary from 1000 to 100,000.

Then we have the TBW.
Terabytes written is the total amount of data that can be written to an SSD before it is likely to fail.
eg for Samsung 860 EVO SSD: 150 TBW for 250 GB model, 300 TBW for 500 GB model, 600 TBW for 1 TB model, 1,200 TBW for 2 TB model and 2,400 TBW for 4 TB model.
Note: The warranty is 5 years or TBW, whichever comes first.

Then the standard MTBF — (mean time between failures) is a measure of how reliable a hardware product or component is over its expected lifetime.
For a SSD maybe million hours. This is only a statistical indicator and does NOT mean that it will work for a million hours.

Then of course we have the SSD type.
SLC (Single Level Cell), MLC (Multi-Level Cell) — two bits per cell, TLC (Triple Level Cell) — three bits per cell, QLC (Quad Level Cell) — four bits per cell.
A SLC SSD would technically be the most reliable SSD as it can endure more writes, while a QLC is the least reliable.

So it's a bit complicated than what you see on the surface.

Ur correct.... I had to research most of these facts before buying a ssd. When I know nothing I was just focusing on speed. I was looking for the best speed but I stepped a little bit more futher and went into details and my decision went from kingston 400 or something to samsung 860 evo. I didnt want any suprises thats why. Anyway Im keeping a backup. Afterall these are electronic items. Can fail at any moment.



Plus over positioning helps life span tas well
