Last I bought was an m.2(Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB - M.2 NVMe), so that's no help for you :( I use this when buying a new drive: https://www.harddrivebenchmark.net/ssd.html But it's now hard to filter out form factor (I'm assuming you're looking for SATA 6 Gbit/s not m.2), and actually that looks like it's only m.2 form factor now. Try this: https://www.harddrivebenchmark.net/hdd-mega-page.html Select SSD, sort by Disk Mark and drop below ??? Nevermind, PassMark has made that completely useless :(! # # # If you just want one that will do you well, try this for $60: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-500GB-Internal-MZ-76E500B-AM/dp/B0781Z7Y3S If you can afford $50 more, bump it up to the 1TB version... Best, and hope that helps, Michael PS: Do get a SATA 6 Gbit/s SSD even if you MB only has SATA 3 Gbit/s connections, stupidly that about doubles the transfer speeds. (I'll guess the 3 Gbit/s SSDs have crappy internals, 'cause they can.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
