Cheap, but reliable SSDs? (feddit.de)

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.

Reliability's kinda high on my priority-list.

Try Samsung.

Nowadays I can't imagine using SATA for anything but archival storage ( get the fastest NVMe you can for your operating-system, and be stunned by how much quicker your machine is ).

Last time I was digging into stats, the reliability-rate for Samsung devices was much higher than that of Western Digital,

and the off-brands .. often are a bit of a bad-joke, for reliability ( Adata & Kingston, I'm looking at you, and will never trust such scum again ).

just my experience/opinion, is all.
