Hmm. My experience of various SSD's over the past decade has not been entirely positive. They seem great in the short term for running an OS, improved startup times and quick loading of games, apps, plugins, etc. But they seem to die quickly or just grind to a halt. SSD still has a long way to go in terms of being able to trust it for mass storage or for reliability and longevity.

In my experience when I was reinstalling my OS a lot on my old kingston ssd, the speeds became rather bad and pretty slow, same for the nVME but less so due to less of me reinstalling stuff.

SSD's are great for short-term speeds and stuff or any old computer that does not write a lot of memory in the disk i.e. browsing the web and shi.

Overall there are many problems with SSD manufacturers being dickwads and replacing chips with shittier ones like Kingston did, I guess raid 0 on hard drives? But even then if one fails, get fucked lmao.
