discussion SSD RECOMMENDATIONS

[sarajaveedd]

My SSD has been showing health warnings for some time, and now it’s starting to slow down and develop errors. Can anyone recommend a good website with reliable SSDs at reasonable prices? Preferably Samsung, Western Digital (WD), or Crucial.

Before we can do that you should probably let us know your general location.

That depends on where you are located.

• I use Canada Parts Picker to get a general idea of what the prices are
• Amazon may not be the best place anymore because they could just mix real with fake into the same bin
• Stick with Best Buy, Canada Computer, Memory Express, or if you are in the US, Microcenter

Crucial doesn't exist anymore so you are dealing with left over stock if there are any. Samsung have fake SSD floating around so not recommended to buy outside of known retailers.

Definitely worth buying from reputable places for SSDs nowadays. Too many stories lately about fake or questionable drives floating around.
