I need to buy some smaller SSD's and am wondering who makes a decent one at a low price point.
I have Kingston drives that have outright died on me quickly and without warning, so I'm hesitant to go that route. On the flip side, my Crucial and Samsung EVO drives have been extremely reliable but are more than I'd like to spend per drive.
For some context... I am building out a handful of Intel NUC's to replace RPi devices throughout the home. Some will be on 24x7, some will be on per a specific schedule, and some are used "when needed." I may end up building additional devices to spread the workload around and off of my heavier virtualization environment simply because these would use small amounts of power and have a tiny footprint.
I really don't need anything more than about a 128GB drive as the rest would largely be wasted space. If I can't find anything that's fairly low cost for what I need, I may just embark on a path of setting them up to PXE boot since I'm going to be running linux on all of them anyhow.
