It's a Samsung 850 Evo SSD, 80% of the weight is the metal casing to make it hard drive shaped. Just remove the case and it can hang from the cable all day without endangering anything.

Relax. Its really hard to destroy a SSD intentionally, and its more or less impossible to destroy them with normal use. Lets look at https://geizhals.at/crucial-t500-ssd-1tb-ct1000t500ssd5-a3053896.html?hloc=at , i mid-class 1TB ssd. Its TBW is 600TB, thats 600.000GB of write operations. If you writ

I like user serviceable tech so that played a big part in my decision to pick it up. Same reason I recently picked up a Thinkpad T440p. It's kind of a golden era of tech. As for the SSD, it's a Samsung 850 Pro. I'm guessing it wouldn't be the bottleneck here.

Cool, tak. Min 10 år gamle Samsung 850 EVO vil måske næsten kunne klare sig som sekundær disk i en ny også? 😄

I have a 250 gig 2,5" samsung 850 evo that I've used as an OS drive for over 10 years at this point and it's still in good shape. I also have a 7-year-old 1tb samsung 970 evo plus that is in good shape. the larger the drives the higher they are rated for endurance, e.g the 970 plus 1tb is rated for

"I am booting from an external SSD (old Samsung 850 EVO) connected to my PC via USB-C." That seems to be the culprit. Amazing that you don't notice slow app starts as well

Yo ya me estoy pasando a SSD cuando puedo. Hasta un SATA, que ya es tecnología vieja comparada con NVMe, son mucho más rápidos. Sí, los discos duros pegan tirones en casi todo, a menos que sea mundial de viejo el software. Si podés, comprate un SSD SATA que sea TLC (no QLC, que esos son lentos) onda

I had a SSD in the T60 mentioned in my other post, and it was a huge upgrade over the stock HDD. Since it's SATA I, you don't need to worry about the latest and greatest. I have gently used Samsung OEM SSDs in all of my servers, and they've been a great deal. As I write this 256GB PM871s (850 EVO eq

My 1TB Samsung 850 Evo was my main drive for a while and it was pretty affordable in 2015.
