I want to upgrade some of my older machines with some new, high(er) capacity SSDs (SATA and nvme). I don’t need super high speeds, just something in the TB range in terms of storage.

Problem is, there’s so much garbage out there, I can’t really tell, which SSD is inexpensive and reliable and which is just utter garbage.

I thought about buying new, but last gen Samsung/WD SSDs.

Intenso and Fanxiang both seem to have been around for a few years, but reviews seem to be mixed.

I commented on the title of your post - nobody with some knowledge in that field (as you claim to have) would phrase that question that way.

Be offended, I can’t change that - but pointing out the obvious may help others to not make the mistake of hoping that there’s cheap good.

There isn’t.

Oh, I’m terribly sorry that I didn’t use the exact wording that the semantic overlord required for his incantations.

Let’s recap, you only read the title, which by definition does not contain all the information, you wrote an extremely arrogant and absolutely not helpful comment, if challenged you answer with even more arrogance, and your only defense is nitpicky semantics, which even if taken at face value, do not change the value of your comment at all.

You are not helping anyone. No, not even others.

Your reading comprehension is a bit off - I didn’t write that I only read the title, I wrote that I commented on the title.

The rest of your rant is up to you.

See, again, nitpicky details, even though we both know exactly what was meant.
