[Nanox7]

I have SSD Kingston 240gb A400.
And after 1 month using today i try to install 30gb game and i cant install cause blue screen pop up. Critical process died.

Crucial MX500 and Samsung 860 EVO SATA SSDs are very good from what I hear

I have no issues with my two 860evos and I've used Mx500's in a few builds and was actually surprised at how quick they really are.
A few other friends also have 860's and no issues reported with them that I know of.

See my system config below, for my drives.

Samsung 960 EVO or Crucial MX500 are the default choices in SATA III drives.

Not to sound repetitive, but the Samsung 860 and Crucial MX500 drives are the the go-to solid state drives. They are fast and proven reliable.

If you want to dip your toes into the land of NVME drives, the Intel 660p is a good option as well.

Do you know the 240gb A400 is actually dead? They aren't amazing drives, but mine has given me absolutely no issues.

A BSOD can be attributed to a lot of things, not just a failed drive.

What does Crystal disk info say about the health of the drive? https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskinfo/

Hard Disk Sentinal can also give a health check https://www.hdsentinel.com/download.php
