I use the 960 and 970 all the time in customer machines I build.
I have no issues in either the Fedora or Windows 10 world.
They are very reliable and faster than ...
Make sure you size the unit such that at least half of the drive will
be empty. This greatly assists with the wear leveling mechanism
on the drive itself.
I think that makes since when it's for a customer and you want to ensure they don't have any problems because that costs you, but SSD's are still too expensive to throw away 50% of the capacity for me.
I did a little research last time (I believe it was you) it was mentioned and while there are a lot of opinions the google consensus I found was that they already reserve some space from the factory but that reserving an additional 15% was sufficient to allow the wear leveling algorithms to work efficiently.
Thanks,
Richard
