Hello Friends

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

Do you have any special recommendation on a specific manufacturer?

It about performance, failures (time of Live)

Thanks in advance

but in other thread in this network I read the suddenly "dead" of one SSD "Samsung evo". It seems it is a very rare scenario. But it happened.
If you read my last reply, i also said that my first Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2TB did die on me. But that was due to manufacturing error. Hence the very reason why brand new hardware comes with a warranty. Whereby, when manufacturing fault appears within set time frame (within 5 years for 970 Evo Plus), the manufacturer replaces the hardware cost free.

I had never has a pendrive failure, but I've hear many times SSD failures .
Maybe you haven't bought "budget" USB thumb drive or used it regularly.

My 1st USB thumb drive, 4TB in size, from Adata, did die on me less than 1 year of use and i didn't use it that regularly either. Afterwards, went with Kingston USB thumb drives. Now, i have 3x different ones, in varying sizes and price points. All three work just fine, even after 5+ years.

Pls, Can you share your experience a little more for each manufacturer?

There are only 3 companies that make the actual Nand flash used in SSD's. Samsung, Micron (the parent company of Crucial), and SK-Hynix. Who better to pick a drive from, than the companies that actually make the storage itself? Samsung has been top dog for quite some time. My personal rig is using 2x Cruical P5's. SK-Hynix drives have reviewed really well.
