Hi!

2 of my drives failed recently (as well as an external drive), plus my faithful HP Proliant Gen 8 is ripe for retirement (I’m small potatoes compared to you guys).

So I bought a mini-PC (with a N100). I’m considering going all SSDs.

What are the cheapest ones? They can be slow.

Is there a “storage SSD” category?

I’ve looked at OEMs but they’re not that interesting, or I didn’t know where to look.
Aliexpress is full of fakes. As is the second hand market. Or it’s legit but as expensive as new.

Thanks for reading!

    I could upgrade my requirements to server grade, but not the budget, so I would say the driving factor is budget :)

    Hand me a bunch of server grade ssds for the price of consumer and I would gladly install them.
