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.

You mean "cheap or reliable". And even with the better brands it's always the question not if but when a device will fail.

Honestly, that is the typical self-righteous stackoverflow response that is helping no one.

You know exactly what I mean, you know exactly how to treat the question, but you chose to play captain obvious of the second arrogance division and posted this.

Of course devices will fail at some point, what are you even trying to add here?

It's exactly those kind of responses that makes me scared to ask questions when I need help in the Linux community..

It adds absolutely nothing to anything

Edit: I've got a WD Green and a Crucial NVMe drive in my current gaming rig and those have been solid
