SSD

ı wanna buy a real high end ssd, what do you prefer?

Depends on your budget.

I doubt you want a 10 TB SSD that costs $5k+

 

Look for something like Samsung 970 Pro or other drives that use MLC instead of TLC for Flash memory, as that has higher endurance, and you get higher warranty and better controllers with RAM caching and so on...

Well, ım planning to spend a lot money on my pc but seriously 5k just sounds RIDICULOUS! ı want something that is meant for customers.

I hear Samsung SSDs are good. Will definately be buying one for my own build when the time comes.

and do you know what is evo 970's max storage?

Samsung, Crucial, and Intel are all pretty good from what I hear.

 

I run a Crucial MX500 in my rig, I like it quite a bit.

The 970 Pro can go up to 1 TB and has a lifetime rating of 1200 TBW. For comparison, a 1 TB drive that uses TLC is typically rated for 4-600 TBW.

Try watching youtube and reading things online (Sifting through misinformation of course). Thats how I learned and still learn things.

There's not a single type of High-end.
Depending on the needs/application wether something is high-end or enterprise-level can be defined by:
- Longevity (amount of writes between failures)
- IOPS consistency
- IOPS maximum rating
- Maximum write/read speeds

While some generally have strong relations (mainly speeds and IOPS) one application may rely more heavily on a steady amount of operations in a certain timespanne and the other on a certain speed that can be achieved at a point; there's really a tonne of factors.

For general use i personally stick alot to Samsung EVO ssd's, they've at least been reliable to me.
I've barely ever had an excuse to look for high IOPS drives, but the times I did i've ended up with Samsung Evo Pro's (850, 860 and 960), Samsung PM983's and Intel P4510's
I have been as lucky as to not have had a single of my SSD's fail as-of yet (I obtained the PM983's second-hand), I reckon one of the oldest EVO's I still own are twin 750 120gb which also still work to this day.
At this moment I have 16 Samsung SSD's in-use of which:
2 850 pro 500gb (in my desktop in RAID1 for OS)
4 850 evo 120 gb (per pair in a server holding OS in RAID1)
4 860 Evo 250 gb (per pair in a server holding VM's in RAID1), 2 860 pro 500 gb in my synology NAS for SSD caching
2 960 pro 500gb; one in my laptop for OS, another in my desktop
2 PM983's 960gb, both in my 24/7 server/DC in RAID1.
I no longer own the P4510's as they simply were to ludicrous for my needs and could sell them well 

In any case I couldn't personally advocate against Samsung SSD's
