I think my 7 year old 240GB Mushkin Chronos Deluxe is failing, but I'm not sure. The machine started hanging when navigating files in Explorer yesterday, and when clicking the start menu and trying to shut down. I clicked the start menu and it took 3-5 seconds to bring it up, then the same thing when clicking power>shut down. 3-5 second delay between action and response. I'll poke around on it some more when I get home today, but I'm looking at a replacement in the meantime. The machine is a 3770K on a P67 board. I'm looking at either another ~256GB or ~512GB as a replacement, and I'm seeing the cheaper Silicon Power drives on Newegg - are these good enough to rely on for a few years? This machine is mostly used for gaming and obviously is old hardware to begin with. The games are mostly installed on a (also probably going to be dead soon) 9 year old 1TB WD Black HDD, so my other thought was to just get a 2TB SSD and combine them, but I'm not really into the idea of dropping $200+ on this machine at this point. I might be willing to step up to the 1TB Silicon Power drive and just uninstall some stuff. I'll probably build a new machine in another year or two when there is hopefully a little less uncertainty in the world, but it would be nice to keep this dinosaur chugging along until then.

Klyith posted:#1 get crystaldiskinfo, if the drive is having read errors they'll be logged in smart Thanks for the tips, unfortunately it's stuck at the initial Windows splash screen now. I'll try to mount it with another machine but I'm assuming it's toast.

Is there a particular recommended pick for a 2TB drive for a general use/gaming/CAD laptop? I'm looking at the WD SN770 on Amazon for $180 and wondering if I should save a bit and look at Gen 3 drives instead. This would go into a new ASUS ROG Flow X16. I have used a couple different laptops with Gen 3 drives for the past few years and don't really think they have felt slow to load at any point, but eh.

Mr Luxury Yacht posted:Does the 4TB Samsung 990 Pro have the same potential longevity bug the 1TB and 2TB ones do? I just ordered the 4TB SN850X for $20 less than the 990 Pro, FYI ($229 for the SN850X, $249 for the 990 Pro). Looking at pcpartpicker that seems to be the prices at most online retailers as of now. In the US, that is.
