TLDR: data throughput (write&delete) of ~80 GB every day, speed doesn't matter but has to be durable and reliable, need >2 TB and 4 TB would be ideal, reasons for this absurd situation is below
I need an SSD recommendation for semi-inert video storage, as (I think) many people on this sub must be doing!
Normally I'd be going for HDDs for this, but my living situation changed and now I'm in a place that physically shakes a lot. So I thought I'd move all my videos to an SSD so I can stop being nervous about losing data.
These are videos that are pending editing, so they do need to be on the computer at all times. I do have an HDD for backup and I do it about once a year. But well, videos come in every day in sizes of ~80 GB (~200 MB each file), and after I edit them (takes about two weeks each) they are removed, so they're not even really worth backing up anyway (as it would just waste space on the backup drive).
So here I am, looking for an SSD. I don't care about read and write speeds because they are semi-inert and not for gaming. But I do need it to be very reliable and the endurance to be very high. I also need the size to be above 2 TB, preferrably 4 TB, as I have about 1.2 TB of stuff to move to the SSD. I heard that situations around MLC TLC and samsung SSDs changed a lot since covid, so I feel a little lost and need help choosing what to buy. I don't mind either M.2 or SATA, whichever one is cheaper.
