Best SSD

[mrsail79]

Hey all,

I do design work so often writing to SSD with temp files while working.... which ends up being quite a short life (2years or so!)

I just need a 1-2tb SSD for running system... but what is best one/ make these days (space is not a issue as have tower PC)... just want reliable...

Thanks

so I currently have always bought SATA... which is what I have always bought so wondering is to change?.

Are M.2 as good? never used one before except on a server to speed up write...

currently have a samsung 860evo but MOBO can support M.2

Before that had multiple Seagates... will never buy one again!

GA-Z270X-Ultra Gaming

ok thats

ah, that's a PCIE 3.0 motherboard so it'll run at half the max speed of the fastest PCIE 4.0 drives I listed above
the random read/writes won't max out the interface so no biggies though
(random read/writes are more important than outright max sequential speeds for small size temp files)

Ok that interesting...

I also have a second PC that I mainly just use for rendering which has a 10th gen chip in
board is Gigabyte H410M...

The GA-Z270X has a i7-7700k but has 2x 2080s so have never had a problem with doing the work...
Currently tho getting blue screen of death every few hours which I think is a bad sector on HD

Why dont you run a surface scan to confirm that?



Tbh, if you've been fine with sata 3 speeds, youd be more than fine with pcie 3.0 speeds (pci3 max speed is 6x sata3 speeds)

I run a scan and it does say 0 bad blocks....
however on event viewer every time it crashes it says:
The device, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block.
