Amazing guitarist and vocalist. I'm pretty sure most people have no idea that Black Magic Woman was a Fleetwood Mac song written by Peter Green before it was a Santana song. Hell, most people don't know there was a Fleetwood Mac before Buckingham/Nicks. Rest in peace Peter Green.

Re: [slim] NVMe drive
Thanks Rolando I am building a new computer soon. I may just use the 120GB SSD on the old computer for the OS and keep the HDs as they are.

Impossible to predict (and SSDs are not inherently more dependable than
HDs - they just have different failure modes). While one obviously
should avoid buying the cheapest no-name device, there's still an
element of chance.
I actually do quite some research every time I buy a storage device
(which is admittedly not often), and prioritize longevity /
dependability above everything else. And yet, I don't think there is a
obvious solution.
Here's some anecdata:
- my music collection is on a 10 year old HD, which works perfectly fine
(in fact, none of the HDs I've bought myself ever died. Some in company
laptops did, though)
- I've been using a SSD for my desktop for ~7 years, works perfectly
fine
- I recently bought a NVMe driive. Well-established brand, recommended
by all reviews and the shop ("we never had problems with this model, and
we sell loads of it"), 5 years warranty, 2 million hrs MTBF (!). Died
after 10 days of light use (complete data loss). Got a replacement,
which died after 3 days (complete data loss). No one knows why (I even
had the PC checked by the shop if there was e.g. a fault with the
mainboard. Nothing.)
If you ask someone else, they may have exactly the opposite experience.
Review are mostly worthless, since they don't test them for 10 years
(the backblaze report being the only exception, but it's HDs only afaik.
iirc, a german computer magazine (c't) did a >1 year test with SSDs,
which is nice, but by the time the results are in, the specific models
are not available anymore. Or the manufacturer has switches suppliers.
Or...).
Finally, you should be aware of 'the Bathtub curve'
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathtub_curve), so switching out a
working device with a new one may in fact increase the risk of failure.

Thanks for the recomendation. Looking on Amazon the:: Samsung 860 QVO 2TB is about $300 Cnd and the ::Sabrent 2TB Rocket NVMe is $369 (Cnd). Not a huge difference in price. The Sabrent is Toshiba based but does not have the same reputation as Samsung.

[slim] NVMe drive
Is there any merit to having a NVMe drive to hold music files or should I stick with my hard drive? I have about 1.1 TB of data so I could fit my linux OS and my music files on a 2TB drive. NVMe seems overkill and I am not worried about speed but the reliability and longevity of the drive.
