hanks; alas, my experience varies from yours. I've
dealt with four SSDs. A
couple of years ago I tried to do what I'm trying to do here, with a WD
500gb SATA SSD and it worked perfectly for about three weeks before it
didn't work anymore. It was very fast to boot but also very fast to die.
This spring I tried to use a 1tb Crucial PCIe M.2 NVME in a Raspberry Pi
and it died almost instantly. (To their credit, Crucial replaced it
quickly and without complaint, and the replacement continues to work
well.) So there are circumstances under which they fail without so much as
a by-your-leave, and there are no symptoms ahead of time. Indeed, they
seem pretty delicate under those circumstances, so I'm trying to identify
and avoid those.
I've had flawless luck with Samsung EVO 960, 970 and 980 drives. Of course the
manufactures always find ways to cheapen the drives each iteration (ATA/SATA
instruction set removal of some commands, etc..), but on balance, the drive
media has always been good. From 3D Nand on. I've also run Crucial, HP and
other manufacturer drives that came in whatever box I bought. Same result - no
issues.
But, drives are drives, so it may just be the luck of the dice. I've had
supposed "Top Quality" Ironwolf server drives die in a matter of weeks, while
I've had white-label remans run for 12+ years.
So "good luck" on the next drive you get.
