reliability is the most important attribute of an SSD: when an SSD fails, it’s like the filament burning out on a light bulb and there’s no chance of data recovery ... the most common failure mode is bugs in the SSD microcode, which is an enormously complex piece of operating system code. Samsung has the best SSD microcode in the business, and are a major factor why Samsung SSDs are the most reliable, regardless of form factor. Samsung is absolutely the only way to go with SSDs. I’ve installed hundreds of ‘em and never had a problem.
Agree wrt Samsung SSDs. I’ve also had good results with Sandisk.
Exactly, I’ve been using Samsung SSD’s for several years now in my systems with zero problems. I use their ‘Data migration” program that easily clones the source drive to the target drive. Always remember to disable the password on Win 10 systems before cloning.
