Is it a good SSD?

Hello! ^^

 

I wonder, is it a good SSD? Will it last long?

If not, can you, please, suggest me an 500 SSD with the ~ same price?

What are you planning on putting on the SSD? And yes it's a good SSD.

SSDs will last A LONG TIME writing nearly a petabyte in some cases. http://techreport.com/review/27909/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-theyre-all-dead 

 

No need to worry about longevity with SSDs. 

 

This is my personal SSD, at 99% health :

It's a good SSD. Pretty much any SSD is a good SSD unless it's a Kingston V300 or a low-end Silicon Power SSD.

 

I would look for a HyperX Savage or some other Phison S10-based SSD if you're going all-out with an 850 Evo, or if you're looking to save some cash, a Mushkin Eco2 would be a better idea. It's right up there with Micron and Adata drives, it's a surprisingly good drive for the price.

It'll be perfectly fine, don't worry about the write cycles too much...

 

Here's one that the company I work at used for a server:

Yes, 85TB written on an SSD that is not even from a reputable brand
