Posted January 12, 2019 So my friend suddenly had the problem where his PC would freeze, but the cursor would be moving. I thought it could be a memory issue so I guided him to turn of XMP and he did. It was fine after though it took very long to boot. That was yesterday. Now he faces the same issue. My other friend is facing a similar issue and they both use the SanDisk SSD PLUS 480GB. He said apps that were running very slow were all on the SSD, and that games on his HDD were running fine. He moved Chrome to the HDD and now he says it's much faster than before. Does this point to an SSD failure or could it be something else? The parts were bought in like early December 2018, so it's not old.

Posted January 12, 2019 Probably the SSD if it's two systems, each with the SSD being trash, in different circumstances. For a good 500GB SSD, I recommend a 970 EVO 500GB if you have some money to spend or a 860 EVO or MX500 500GB if you don't have much.

Samsung and Crucial's SSD's are god-awfully expensive- 500GB one can set me back more than $180 usd. The other ones are less expensive, closer to market price of regular SSDs. That's why I went with SanDisk and not Samsung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, maybe a Patriot Burst 480GB or a A400 480GB would do well? Ryzen 7 3700X / 16GB RAM / Optane SSD / GTX 1650 / Solus Linux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
