Hi everyone, I’ve been eyeing up two SSD’s which is the Samsung EVO 970 Plus 1TB and the WD_BLACK 1TB SSD.

What SSD do you have? Do you have any favourites? What do you recommend? Let me know!

Can't go wrong with either of those. Two of the most popular ones. Most will do the job fine but the higher end ones have extra cache.

if they are top of the line usually it comes down to which brand do you favor more
i always liked samsung evo series and use them personally.
if you are into hardware, finding benchmarks for those and coming to a conclusion on "best" is second nature.

Samsung evo series is pretty solid. But it does depend on how much r/w you are putting it through. If too much, nothing will last haha. My samsung evo series ssd has lasted for more than a year btw.

I agree! I have 3. All good. One of them got like 40tb of rewrite. Samsung disk magician software says drive is still very good.

Samsung PRO for the guarantee has always been my choice.
