I want to upgrade some of my older machines with some new, high(er) capacity SSDs (SATA and nvme). I don’t need super high speeds, just something in the TB range in terms of storage.
Problem is, there’s so much garbage out there, I can’t really tell, which SSD is inexpensive and reliable and which is just utter garbage.
I thought about buying new, but last gen Samsung/WD SSDs.
Intenso and Fanxiang both seem to have been around for a few years, but reviews seem to be mixed.
I have a friend who’s in the computer repair business. He uses PNY drives because out of the hundreds he’s installed, he’s yet to see one come back with a faulty drive, unlike some of the other brands he’s tried like Kingston. He gets the base size and base speed drives as his customers tend not to use a lot of data.
I have two PHY drives that I installed in a server. They work just fine and I have no complaints
