[WookieSM]

My 480g ScanDisk SSD just died again 3rd time in 6 months :-(  so I'm going to have to send it off under warranty yet again, Lost all my steam games and saves yet again 

 

Anyway, im thinking of getting a different one so give me some ideas of good ones to get, please :-)

ones that last longer than 2 fecking months

Well Freak,I have a Samsung SSD 850 EVO for a good 1/2 year now and no problems here.I only basically use it for my OS W10,all my games are on my 2TB internal drive.

[LaRSin]

Been using a Kingston 480 ssd for at least 2 years ., But I think it's more..

[TBB]

I have a Samsung SSD 850 EVO for 2 years - no problems - great piece of hardware

[Angelz]

I too have the Samsung 850 EVO 1TB SSD and have had no problems with it.

You may want to get a 2nd regular hard drive to use as a back up. It doesn't have to be an SSD. I have a 4tb Western Digital that I use to save all my stuff on.

[WookieSM]

Looks like Samsung is winning the race here  and yes Angelz I should really get a backup drive 

[EDD THE DUCK]

Had my Samsung  850 EVO  since July 2015  also have a Kingston hyper X SSD in another pc for 3 years with no problems . also look at onboard SSD even faster https://www.scan.co.uk/products/500gb-samsung-960-evo-v-nand-m2-nvme-pcie-gen-30-x4-3200mb-s-read-1800mb-s-write-330k-330k-iops?gclid=Cj0KCQjwlMXMBRC1ARIsAKKGuwgc2ZarknNTP7V48cXL_qV4LnPk-HEdLDWkahc76Ve7G_iRtFOQ3aIaAjmBEALw_wcB

Freak 

have you been keeping up with the firmware of your SSD

I suspect  power issues with that many failures , be it PSU,  powerline  or your habit of shutting down

check bios/OS setting for TO STALL TURNING OFF OS so  COMPUTER  hardware can  get all the data written to drive

[Tw33tle_Dee]

Samsung 850 pro 512g, no promlems ever. Samsung magician always keeps firmware up to date.

[Predat0r]

I went through 8 PSU's with OCZ before they sent me a turbo that was not a OCZ. They had me checking everything out. I did everything and posted the results. Sometimes I think they just give you ones made on Monday or Friday. Always better to get anything that is made on a Wednesday LOL

Yes firmware was up to date not had any other issues with the pc apart from them drives but there sending me a new one so we see how long that lasts if not il have to save for an evo i think lol

Buy Samsung EVO instead of Sandisk

You don't need a PRO version, just extra $$$ and you wouldn't notice a performance difference.

Edited August 17, 2017 by KicknDatAzz

[Tw33tle_Dee]

That is correct, you will not notice a performance difference. The difference is that the Pro version has the better nand flash and should last 2x the data written on the Evo. The Pro has a 10 year warranty where as the Evo is 5 years. I don't think there is any other manufacturer that offers a 10 year warranty other than Plextor.

OCZ pci card ssd for like 5 years or more zero problem.

also some Samsung EVO PRO M2 and sata on different machines and zero problems

other machines around with sandisc, crucial and kingston ssd tons of problems, maybe its just bad luck with those but im gona stick to Samsung for the next ones

[TattooGamer]

I've been using OCZ for 2 years and have never had a problem with them. They're pretty reliable for the price.
