It just needs to be reliable and cheap

dont buy from aliexpress

anything samsung/intel/crucial/WD

youll need the warranty

I wonder if I can get a good deal on samsung ssds on ebay

@StickyDonutHoles Kingdian no?

King what

it's in the old info graphic

Ah thank you

Kingdian s280

Is it good

Yes

Good

@StickyDonutHoles SSD prices have dropped so low this year that you're better off getting a named brand than to save money on a chink one with questionable quality

SSD prices are no longer insanely high

yep

Ah okay

people have reported their chink SSDs dying

The only thing the SSD needs to run

but either way just get a good named brand tbh

Is Linux

And its programs

You think 120gb is enough?

240 gb to be safe tbh

while linux itself wont take that much space, 120 is way too small nowadays

You sure I shouldn't go with 500gb for Linux?

But

I have 750gb of hdd space

go for 500 then

I will go for 1tb then

just get the samsung 860

those are very durable

Might have to test Samsung's warranty program as one of my 850 evo partly died 3 days ago

Couldn't boot, could after 2 reboots, bad sectors reported by some progs but not others (chkdsk and S.M.A.R.T. reports tell me it's fine, acronis true image [that I highly regret not setting up last week when I had time] tells me it can't read some sectors)

Damn

Tried Tinydisk?

What's this?

you don't really need kingdian, you can get a 1tb/$100 from a real-ish brand now

samsung = realish brand

wat

you can't get a samsung 1tb for $100
