Hi!
2 of my drives failed recently (as well as an external drive), plus my faithful HP Proliant Gen 8 is ripe for retirement (I’m small potatoes compared to you guys).
So I bought a mini-PC (with a N100). I’m considering going all SSDs.
What are the cheapest ones? They can be slow.
Is there a “storage SSD” category?
I’ve looked at OEMs but they’re not that interesting, or I didn’t know where to look.
Aliexpress is full of fakes. As is the second hand market. Or it’s legit but as expensive as new.
Thanks for reading!
The base consumer models from regular brands usually have no write cache and are thus cheaper, and obviously slower, but for data storage that doesn’t matter so much.
But you can also look into 2.5" HDDs if you are looking for power savings and noise reduction over regular HDDs.
