Iโm aware of the difference. I was looking from the perspective of WDโs recent track record, with things like advertising DM SMR drives as NAS drives when they arenโt suited as such - I wouldnโt put it past them to make decisions negatively affecting the quality of their subsidariesโ other product segments
For SSDs I buy from any brand really - Sandisk, Crucial, Kingston, and occasionally knock off chinese brands. I like Micronโs offerings (particularly the MX series with PLP capacitor backup and very generous NAND overprovisioning) but you pay a small premium for those.
Yes I should have said Crucial. That is the brand used by Micron. Just got an MX500, 1TB drive for my Wife.
Who are the big names for SSDs anyway. I mean ones that actually make them and sell them, not just brand them? I just recognize Micron/Crucial from the old days. They do memory chips of other kinds so I felt they should know how to do this sort of memory chipโฆ nothing moreโฆ do not know how people in the know rate them.
