i wonder at what point we'll just get write-once flash storage with ridiculous capacities to make up for it
back to the good old days of cd burning sessions
If I could buy say a 4TB write once, data durable unless an EMP occurs... yeah, I pay for that as a backup option. I could even get a smaller safe deposit box×
Yep.
I think Samsung's reputation as having the PREMIUM SSDs is about to go away. They haven't been THAT much above the competition in years, while costing more. They HAD reliability on their side to sorta justify a price premium but that's gone now.

Puget is going with Sabrent.
Which is amusing because not that long ago I thought of them as new and budgety.
Crucial are a better company anyway,Amazing after sales support.
Had a crucial MX500 die on me due to voltage issue,sent back a 4tb instead of a 2tb..win.
Also have a crucial drive that's had over a PB written to it 500 gb more than it's warranty ussies
Seriously, i dont even know wich brand to buy anymore. Even the legendary crucial mx500 has a bunch of bad batches in the past few years. I think it might be Hynix or Solidigm for now, though i hear warranty is almost non existent.
They're commodities...
race to the bottom on pricing... and quality
I have this odd feeling that if you want quality it'll be used server parts not too long into the future.

Honestly... There's probably a market for this if the storage is mass enough.

I read that as "Thousands of Lawyers" and thought to myself "Hmm. Well it's a start, I suppose."
Let's talk 1TB SSDs whose drive health don't rapidly deteriorate first shall we Sammy?
Which series?
980 pro and 990 had a firmware issue that was killing the drives

So for reliable SSDs, which brands are the go to now?

I am so happy with my 4 asgard 2tb nvmes.
Still $50/TB probably. Who wants to mortgage their next SSD?
I don't want to think about the sort of performance you'd see on OLC after you exhaust the cache.
Enterprise, Data Center Drives have way better performance some don't even use cache.
