Which SSD for me?

TubsAlwaysWins · November 4

Looking at buying some used SSD's in bulk, ive got 2 options right now. Wondering if anyone has suggestions.

Option 1: Micron 5100 ECO 480GB SSD

Option 2: Intel DC S3500 600GB SSD

I can purchase more of the microns in bulk and at a better price per GB (micron is $0.0345/GB, intel is $0.05/GB)

They are going in a server application. Im leaning towards the Micron ones because I can get more than 16 of them and keep my server with all matching drives.

Thoughts?

Just windows file share, Plex, and some game servers

All (relatively) low IOPS applications, so I don't think it really matters IMHO. I'd go with whatever's cheaper — the Micron drives in this case. They're both good drives.
