Is Kioxia a good brand for SSD? Am considering between the KIOXIA EXCERIA M.2 NVMe 1TB or the WD SN570.

you mean as in those come in the prebuild system?Wait till you see those OEM rebranded SSDs.... they are as bad or even worse than the infamous firecuda..

Anyone know if the Storage Executive data is reliable example for my crucial MX300 above?
9k hours still have 99% life time as gaming drive?

I use the software for firmware update after 4 years of usage.This is crucial software is from crucial ( micron ) to read the SMART SSD. If you feel not right or something why not email them to ask ?
For Momentum Cache , will use your ram . if you want faster then use it , other than that for me I just leave as it is .
Its pro and cons
I think it calculated by how much you written against the TBW... not the amount of hours you used.
You can ownself count also.
Anyway, this drive is dam good.. it was my main SSD for so many years until I kicked it out with 2 Samsung nvme last year.
In 2016, lazada got this discounted. ~$150 for 750GB. It was an S-tier promotion, I faster hoot 2 and flip 1.

SAN disk (now under WD) is a better choice.Is Kioxia a good brand for SSD? Am considering between the KIOXIA EXCERIA M.2 NVMe 1TB or the WD SN570.
For some reson I've only encountered Singaporeans calling it ScanDisk.SAN disk (now under WD) is a better choice.
I feel that the image is very misleading as they are showing Samsung and Seagate SSD but WD HDD.https://www.tomshardware.com/news/hardware-reliability-puget-systems-2021

it was based on their own experience as system integrator and simply they do not have lots of exposure to many other SSD or HDD available at their testing pleasure.I feel that the image is very misleading as they are showing Samsung and Seagate SSD but WD HDD.

The SSD controller chip is basically 3 to 4 types only need not to say the storage chip. Rest is how the marker implement it.it was based on their own experience as system integrator and simply they do not have lots of exposure to many other SSD or HDD available at their testing pleasure.

My experience with Seagate hard drive is very bad to the point that I don’t have confidence in any of their products, be it hard drive or SSDs. Clearly when their competitors were churning out more durable hard drives/ mechanical drives before SSDs become this common, it just reveals how poor the quality control is. And this issue will likely be carry forward to their other products, i.e. SSDs.Wait till you see those OEM rebranded SSDs.... they are as bad or even worse than the infamous firecuda..
