Is the PNY CS900 a decent SSD for Proxmox or something different in that price range?

No, terrible. Get something with DRAM. SATA (interface) is a dying breed. Crucial MX500 or Samsung 860/870 EVO (if you can find them), or something fancy in M.2/NVME instead.

Samsung 870 EVO is one of the best consumer-grade SSD you can still buy new. It has DRAM cache and block-level garbage collection. And the garbage collection is both background (cleans when idle) and foreground (cache -> then updates the blocks, this helps reduce writes on the drive) Plus, I think h

I just got a new drive for my PS4, it's a 1tb ssd.

If using an ssd in a regular ps4 make sure the drive has cache memory and self trim like Samsung 870 evo drives otherwise it’ll just get slower over time and kill the drive . This is because unlike the Xbox ps4 os cannot perform these functions , I learned that the hard way.

Installing ZorinOS and upgrading my old laptop.

The biggest performance upgrade IMO is replacing the HDD with a SSD. Watch out for cheap SSDs though, they likely will not have a DRAM cache, the unbranded or obscure branded ones particulary. Personally I'd always go for a known performance brand with a DRAM cache, e.g. Samsung 870 EVO or WD Blue S

Best 1tb SSD for PS3?

Best: Samsung 870 evo 2nd best: crucial mx500 Those two have dram cache. There might be one or two more that have it too, maybe Kingston. Dram is crazy money right now. A Samsung or crucial will cost you $150 on eBay minimum. It's stupid. And it'll be used most likely. Teamgroup AX2 or patriot memor

Как думаете стоит брать за свою цену

Бери нормльный SSD с DRAM кэшем. БЕЗ ШУТОК. Даже брендовые SATA SSD без собственного DRAM - это херовый с долгосрочной перспективы вариант, ибо такие диски гораздо быстрее будут сыпаться. Samsung 870 EVO оч норм вариант за свои деньги.

Anyone else depressed from AI?

No game from 2020 or before takes long or has shader issues at all on my 870 Evo. SATA SSD's with good cache are great game drives, just not the best for an OS drive (even then, still usable). HDDs even are fine for 2D games and plenty of indie games in general. Your NVMe likely isn't even being ful

iMac 2015 upgrade

sconsiglio vivamente la serie BX di Crucial, sul web è pieno di pessime recensioni. Io stesso ne ho avuti due modelli (prima 960gb, poi 1tb) ed entrambi soffrivano di continui surriscaldamenti e performance inconsistenti, a tratti anche inferiori agli hdd meccanici. Se quel Mac ha solo un interfacci
