crossed fingers on Samsung 96x EVO
Full circle as my first SSD was a samsung 128G Samsung (Discounting the first Samsung 64G, since that's too old and small to be comprehensible.) Then Crucial. This was all MLC and old MLC, way before much else was around Then an HP "planar MLC" which is newer but an older model from a sale last year that the same model HP has replaced with no-planar MLC. An "almost up to date HP", IOW, but nothing yet eclipsing 256G (the size of both Crucial and HP). Found this for $100 this week: SAMSUNG 860 EVO Series 2.5" 1TB SATA III V-NAND 3-bit MLC Bigger/better deal, though with AMD controllers I may never see it perform w/in specs (at a non-NCQ, non-ACHI provision some claim less than optimal probably hinging on Intel and W10). That the 1T is no worse than any the above for performance in native IDE (perhaps formatted from Win7), and yet widely accessible for a few operating systems I use should be good enough. I do believe a possible 3yr instead of 5yr warrantee, for asking that much, is price-worthy at a minimum three times more the (TBW) longevitity of 3-bit MLC over TLC or lower yet grades of consummer SSD memory. Hence a bit of bet or possibly less of the crossing-fingers aspect with a closely priced Crucial MX500 series. |
