Western Digital 1 TB SSD

I use a laptop with an Intel 2TB 660p NVME SSD and a 512GB SSD.

The 2TB drive cost me about £170 at the beginning of the year.

Having 2TB of rapid, low power, non-mechanical storage is wonderful. Previously I had a supposedly faster 512GB NVME drive but I was always having to compromise on samples, installs, etc. I don't notice any difference in real world speed.

My advice is, whatever you do, as far as SSDs go, choose capacity over speed once the speed is reasonable (I'd say over 1,000 MB/s). Reinforcing this is that, at least as far as the Intel SSDs are concerned, as the size of the drive increases so does the size of the cache and the speed of sequential reads, writes and random reads.

So the "blue" SSD's are their "best" SSD then.
Thanks Lars

 WD has the best RMA service out there.   I don't have faith in SSDs since my Intel failed in 3 of 5 years.  WD is so easy to deal with when it comes to defective drives.
