Anyone got any info or confirmation on this?

Apparently, both Firefox and Chrome write their respective recovery sessions every 15 seconds. Firefox supposedly does 10GB a day and this will eventually kill an SSD faster than normal unless you tweak the settings.

Are these good SSDs? I'm needing to upgrade my Samsung 840 EVO Pro because it's just 128GB and Windows is eating it so fast, even after moving the searching stuff off to another drive.

Anyone know what a good m.2 SSD would be? I need to replace one a friend gave me and I dunno what a good one would be.

I'm thinking about this one, maybe?

That’s a good drive

Recently found out that I'd need the drive sooner rather than later and I'm not sure how fast Newegg would ship.

Is this one good too?

EDIT: It'd just be to store personal data, it wouldn't be for OS stuff.

If this is a secondary drive for data storage you'd be fine with a QLC drive (Intel 660p, Crucial P1).

I would grab a Crucial P1 (just looked em up and the 500GB is a bit less than the WD Blue) but I need it by at least Wednesday and the WD is delivered tomorrow with Amazon's One Day ship.

Though I will keep an eye on these if I need another drive. Thank you!

I've got a ton of HDDs in my custom built PC. Since I need to replace it anyway as I'm on the 6th gen Intel and also things are becoming a bit slow, I was wanting to just go prebuilt, modify it online, and go with a NAS for those extra HDDs.

https://www.newegg.com/synology-ds1520/p/N82E16822108747?Item=N82E16822108747 Would this be a good one?

Unfortunately, I can't use BackBlaze on my NAS since they don't like that...but we'll see what can be done, I suppose.
