Hello!
I need to get a new SSD for my OS as my old one is failing. I am looking for an SSD with a DRAM cache, but I came across an older intel DC S3610 SSD 1.6TB in which the add states 96% life left according to S.M.A.R.T. The price puts it at around the same as a 1TB TLC/QLC SSD with DRAM. I know it is an older drive and it is out of warranty, but it is an enterprise disk with MLC and build for longevity. Would this disk serve well as an OS disk? Would partition a part for the OS and have the rest for storage. What say the masses?
MB: Asus Maximus VIII Ranger
CPU: i5-6600K 3,5Ghz
GPU: GTX 1070
OS: WIN 10
OS disk: Samsung EVO 850 SSD 500GB (naughty disk)
Disk 2: Kingston SNV2 M.2 2TB
RAM: 16GB DIMM 2133Mhz
PSU: Cooler Master V750 (RS-750-AFBA-G1)
It is an older build but has been a workhorse so far. Will probably be upgrading most parts relatively soon, but the OS disk needs to be done now.
(I started looking for a 240GB cheap SSD for my OS, and here I am)
Cheers!
