[SOLVED] Is Hikvision ssd trusted?

[Eiji313]

Do you think this brand should be trusted for manufacturing a good ssd? Do you think it’s worth buying?

"Cheap" SSDs don't tend to have the best performance, nor do they have a proven reliability.
Add to that, the chance of any warranty being honored in the event it does fail..... I wouldn't say it's worth buyer.

Given known, reputable brand offerings from the likes of Seagate are only a tiny little bit more:

Or, for a little bit more (assuming you have an NVMe capable M.2 slot) the Intel 660p:

That little bit of extra money upfront will be worth the peace of mind moving forward.

AIUI, Hikvision specialises in home and business security products. I suspect that this SSD is probably based on a low cost, possibly DRAM-less controller, but I would reserve judgment until I can see the innards.

That said, here is a "Pro" Hikvision SSD which is based on a Maxio MAS0901 controller. It is RAM based, and has power loss protection, so it looks promising.
