Is a man not entitled to the haw of his maw?

Welp, my 1tb poo poo the bed (or will shortly) and I need to replace it. Thinking of a 500gb ssd. Anyone have any good/cheap recommendation? The old one is a regular drive, and I'm mainly gonna be storing my ebooks on the new one. Calibre has been rebuilding my library for a few days now so I'm assuming the bottleneck is the old drive, so I'd like to replace it kinda quick.

Don't have a particular budget but I'd like to stay around 40-50 if possible.

I have no idea of these are ok to buy second hand, but if they are, let me know and I'll start cruising ebay.

Which kind of drive, SATA or NVME?

You generally do not want second hand SSDs. SSDs are no longer expensive enough to warrant any real savings over new drives and you don't know what the controllers have been put through.

Oh, poo poo, yea that info would have helped. SATA is what I'm looking for. Don't have an NVME port.

Cool. Snagged a WD Blue 3d off Best Buy for 64.99 and got same day delivery since I really don't want to drive all the way out there.

Hopefully by tonight, I'll have all this poo poo settled and be able to get back to reading.

Thanks for the help!
