Especially stay away from Intel. I took it in the shorts
over that one. Cost me a few thousand dollars of free
parts and labor to remove all of them. All but the very
oldest ones that work perfectly.
I've done enough research to know to stay away from Intel SSDs :) I'm looking at at WD Black right now:
2) size you drive such that it will have 1/2 of its capacity open. This
is because there is a computer on the drive you don't know about
that is constantly moving data around so that no one spot gets
over used. It is called "wear leveling". And it work well only
if your drive is 1/2 or more empty.
I'd like to do this but I'm upgrading from a 256MB SSD because I'm running out of space. Is there something magical about 50% of the space or as long as you leave SOME does it help?
3) make sure you have proper air circulation across it. They get hot
and heat is your enemy.
It's a full tower with the P/S fan and a 120mm exhaust fan so it moves a good bit of air.
I have a Samsung 960 NVMe drive in my office computer. Only holy
molly it is fast! Fedora 28 takes 7 seconds to boot up after I
enter the password prompt. The 960 has been replaced with the 970.
My current Mushkin SATA III drive boots pretty quick but not that quick :)
Thanks,
Richard
