Hi everybody, I am trying to decide whether to buy a larger capacity drive to replace my two old Samsung SSDs that are 1TB and 500gb.
When I looked at Amazon I saw that there are many options of new models if standard spinning drives for much less.
As far as I know from reading over the years spinning drives are more likely to fail than the spinning disk drives. But I haven’t ever actually seen the test data to see just how likely or unlikely they are to break compared to SSD.
If this drive is going to be used only at home and not carried anywhere, does anyone have any idea just how much more likely it is to fail than an SSD?
Bonus: question, are WesternDigital SSDs any better or worse than Samsung? Or are there any established brands are are absolutely better to avoid?
