Question M.2 NvME PCIe: recommendations about a specific manufacturer

[Manuel Jordan]

Hello Friends

According with your experience in general for M.2 NvME PCIe for 512GB, 1TB and 2TB

Do you have a especial recommendation about a specific manufacturer?

It about performance, failures (time of Live)

Thanks in advance

I've worked with Samsung, Klevv, TeamGroup and Solidigm. What is the make and model of your motherboard and what will the drive in question be used for? Where are you located, what is your budget for your drive and what is your preferred site for purchase?

It about performance, failures (time of Live)
They are relative terms, what are you looking for specifically out of your NVMe drive purchase?

Depending on the size.
What system are you going to put it on?
And what are you going to do?

Hello Friends

As an introduction, around 2003/2005/2010 the time of life for a HDD starting from 80GB to 320GB had a short time life (1.5 yrs to 3yrs) against 30GB, 50GB, 60GB. I changed 6 HDD within their warranty. Same experience with 2 friends too.

I want to know if it happens in some way for SSD and M.2 NvME PCIe about 2TB to up
Yes, I know it is other technology but I want to know if is very safe has SSD/M.2 starting with 2TB

Of course, it based in your own experience and friends/family too

Thanks in advance

Failures: you need luck more than you need anecdotes from the Internet. What is there to be learned from a random "I've had good luck with brand X"?

Performance: probably a lot less variation than you'd expect, unless you are hypnotized by benchmarks. Many are.

I have an 8-year-old 500GB PNY in my (8 Y.O.) laptop, an equally old Corsair 500GB in my equally old backup desktop both used at least weekly since they stopped being my daily drivers for work from 2016 to 2021, and a nearly 4-year-old Samsung 1TB in my daily WFH desktop, as well as a 4-year-old Samsung 500GB in an external drive with my music backups. All still work great.

I still make sure all critical data is backed up in several different ways though, because there is always going to be that 1st time a drive fails.

Similar to RAM, there are literary hundreds of SSD "manufacturers " but only few real manufacturers of actual chips built in. Beside those that just use and combine chips from main chip manufactures some just buy whole thing and stick their labels and I have seen some that didn't even bother to flash firmware with their name and others just flash firmware in their name. Right now I have an obvious Samsung 960 evo + with sticker and firmware that reads HP.
