I get that Solid State Drives are faster, but are they better? I seem t remember that they fail a lot, although, I might be misremembering that.

Hi EClark1894

I have in my PC 4x 2TB SSD, one of them is older Samsung and still holds or rather is still fast as have been at day one, I do lots of decompression and compression files and this takes lots writes to drives

I have written to my Samsung I think 90TB of data within 2 years, I don't think you will ever write so much data hahaha and this SSD still reads 540mbps/530mbps write

If you buy something like Samsung, Crucial and many other makers SSD which have high TBW rate then you shouldn't have to be worried about this

Personally I would recommend Samsung, they are expensive but worth it

Have look, two years ago my main 3TB HDD Seagate failed, literally one day stopped working and on this HDD I have all my files, renders, runtimes etc, recovery would be so much expensive and I never looked on that because of price, I recovered only part of files with few tricks but still several files and Renders I will never recover

I have several now SSD which have been reliable and no issues with them

Tey drop HDD on floor, this HDD usually will be dead, do that with SSD and no issues

They're quiet and reliable SSD, juat enable TRIM as above and enjoy fast computer

I upgraded every laptop like friends or my family with 240-250GB SSD

Please check iBuypower PC, not sure how big is your budget for PC

Hope this helps

Thanks, Jura
