Storage upgrade advise

where to lookup this info?

Techpowerup SSD database is a good place to check. Otherwise, really need to find individual reviews with tear downs or if people shared it's flash/controller info via SSD-Z or crystaldiskinfo.

Maybe late, but you can also refer to this excel compiled by newmaxx

The data may be debatable but some info like controller, TLC or QLC and size of SLC cache can be found for some of the "popular ones"

Do note that sometimes manufacturer can do the switcheroo and hence the specs may be different from what you see online

Nah I don't really trust that list so much. For example, Lexar NQ790 is 100% confirmed to be a TLC, just using 2nd gen YMTC NANDs similar to NM710. However, in that list, it's QLC.

i recommend tlc nvme like kingston a2000. tlc nvme has minimum speed of 250MBps when slc cache is used up. qlc ones are below 80MBps

Hi guys, need some advise. My old 250gb SSD seems to be failing soon, thinking to get a nvme which seems to be the only option. My board is an Asrock B460 Steel Legend which i understand to run with gen 3 nvme. Will the gen 4 be compatible to run? For eg. Samsung EVo 990 or WD SN850X. I know it won't get speed of gen 4 but makes no sense to get a used gen 3. Looking at either a 1 or 2 TB to run OS.

Also which 8-10TB hdd is reliable nowadays? WD blue seems to be unreliable. My 4TB green of 8 years is still in great health compared to my blue which only lasted 5 years and went dead

Thank you!

WD SN7100 already came out which is the successor to SN850X and performs even better.

Lexar NM790 good and reliable workhorse and usually a little cheaper.
NM1090 coming out soon or already came out which is their Pcie5 flagship.
