Hello, I prefer Samsung for compatibility sake and recoverability sake as well. With WDC SSD's I have no information on them, other than what I have seen on Review sites. Have a great day, Tim Lider Red Belt Arnis de Mano https://www.facebook.com/CardenasArnis -Original Message- From:

We have some older PC's here that we're upgrading the drives from HDD to SSD's and for $30 you can get Kingston 240gb drives from amazon. I've not had any issues with the upgrade. On Mon, Sep 23, 2019 at 10:44 AM FORC5 wrote: > Always use Samsung or Crucial, anyone ever > used a WD SSD drive ?

While the performance of the Kingston's isn't all that. They are cheap and cheerful. I second the recommendation. Check out the intel drives. I've been using them and really like them. On Mon, Sep 23, 2019 at 1:45 PM Christopher Fisk < christopher.f...@thefisks.org> wrote: > We have some olde

Do you have any PCI/PCIe USB 3.0 cards to try? I've had the usb ports go sideways on 2 I7 motherboards. They (usb ports) would work sometimes and not others and completely died eventually on 1 board. I kept it running for a while with an add on usb card that I had handy lopaka On Mon, Sep 23, 20

Has to be model specific. Some Intel SSDs use their own controllers, some use Sandforce, some use others still. Unfortunately, they're not all equal. I had one Intel 2500 Pro (same as 520 series) that went bad, a known issue with power saving causing massively amplified writes, but it gave me mo
