970 EVO Plus

At 0 percent lifespan, I would treat the drive as already on borrowed time, tbh. I had a boot SSD report bad health once and cloning it immediately saved me from a dead Windows install a few days later. Timetec can work, but for a system drive I would rather spend a little more on a known NVMe model

Looks a lot, but everything is full (SSDs are 80%, because after 80% TRIM cannot work optimally), I ran a JellyFin server and some VMs as well.(That's the reason for intel CPU, the iGPU can handle most of the transcoding in the background without me even nothicing a flinch!) Thanks I apreciate it!To

Consider getting an SSD instead of an HDD. I'd go with the Samsung 970 EVO Plus, it's a reliable choice. Even though speed wasn't your priority, it'll still make your laptop faster. It also comes with a 5-year warranty.

Thanks so much for trying to help. That's good to know about the warranty! As you can see in the images below, the drive appears to be operating properly - Lexar NM710 Samsung 970 Evo Plus Turns out it is actually connected at PCIe 4.0 x4, I must have been looking at the Samsung earlier. One thing t
