I'm giving some thought to putting an SSD in
my desktop machine....
I bought my first 38 months ago. I currently have 12 2.5", 3 NVME, and one SATA
M.2. Two of the 12 2.5" have had to be replaced under warranty. A 17th, NVME from
XPG/AData, was defective and returned for refund. Largest is 512GB (one only).
Smallest is 120GB.
Brands:
BiWin
Crucial
Intel
Kingston
Mushkin (1 of 2 replaced)
Pioneer
PNY (replaced)
SiliconPower
TeamGroup
XPG (Adata) (1 of 2 returned defective)
ZTC
Most are an only internal/installed storage device.
Overall I'd say the defect rate differs little from my experience with rotating
rust, so it's worth the improvement in speed to use them.
... and don't forget backups. Always have one - at least. And one on something that
will not break when submerged in water ...
