TenementFunster posted:I want a big, fast SSD to replace my 300gb Raptor. Storage Review is telling me that the Corsair Neutron GTX is the best drive out there, but the review is dated August 2012. What is the current "best" drive? It seems like this thread is dedicated to telling people to avoid every drive out there, so I don't want to walk into a $500 minefield. Intel 330, Samsung 840 Pros, Mushkin Enhanced Chronos Deluxe. Either of these 3 will definitely fit the bill of fast and reliable, just buy which ever one you desire

You should be making backups of important files regardless of whether it is a mechanical or solid-state drive. Two is one and one is none.

Xenomorph posted:Why is that the SSDs that get recommended here are from companies like Mushkin or SanDisk, and some of the drives specifically mentioned to avoid are from Crucial, Plextor, OCZ, Corsair, yet when I check other forums or sites Anandtech, they only seem to pay attention to Corsair, OCZ, Crucial, Plextor, etc...? We stress reliability and price/performance over raw performance because we don't want someones first post after a new build to be in the Haus of Tech Support trying to diagnose why their 5.1ghz overclock is crashing and their OCZ drive is only detecting very 4 boots. Also, we aren't getting paid to shill for people.

Xenomorph posted:This thread is the only place where I've seen recommendations to not get an M500 SSD. Sure, it's not SandForce/Intel/Samsung, but is it really that bad? All the part recommendation threads stress reliability over cost. There's no reason to recommend any parts with questionable background when there is no shortage of parts with none of these issues.

Larrymer posted:It turns out that it works a lot better if you give the SSD some power. If I makes you feel any better I couldnt get an SDD to detect in my laptop last week because I couldn't see the SATA connector and was sliding the drive under it. I've only been doing this for 17 years.

The Mushkin Chronos Enhanced Deluxe is no longer explicitly mentioned in the OP. Has something changed about these drives or are they just no longer as good of a price/performance value?

Yeah I think I'll take my chances of a bad RMA experience with Samsung instead of buying drives from questionable manufacturers just so I can save some trivial amount

At a little over a year on my Mushkin 240GB I'm at around 4.4TB in writes so yeah I'm not really worried about some hilarious scenario where Joe User is somehow going to exhaust the write space of their SSD

Drives fail without warning all the time and counting on some lead time as your exit strategy is a pretty poor way to go about it. Its why we stress backups. One copy means you're one crappy day away from no copies. This isn't an if, its a when.

There is literally no point to introducing uncertainty into your computer to save a trivial amount

There was a pretty neat thread awhile back concerning archival and long term storage solutions(5 year+) and there really isn't a great answer for it. Making it someone else's problem is your best bet.
