Hi!

2 of my drives failed recently (as well as an external drive), plus my faithful HP Proliant Gen 8 is ripe for retirement (I’m small potatoes compared to you guys).

So I bought a mini-PC (with a N100). I’m considering going all SSDs.

What are the cheapest ones? They can be slow.

Is there a “storage SSD” category?

I’ve looked at OEMs but they’re not that interesting, or I didn’t know where to look.
Aliexpress is full of fakes. As is the second hand market. Or it’s legit but as expensive as new.

Thanks for reading!

    As an additional warning probably best to avoid amazon because counterfeits are just dumped in the bin with the actual mfr stuff and you could get burned there too. Buy from B&H or some other vendor that doesn’t have this practice

      I had good experiences 10y ago with amazon “white labels” mechanical drives… But its aneddotical and didn’t go with amazon for my sdds anyway.
