Transcend SSD + External HDD = Reliable ?

[napoleon bohlumpar]

anyone has positive experience with this brand = Transcend ?

their SSD and External HDD (military spec protection) like good value for money ...............

or since it's Taiwanese brand then no point buying ?

 

[poooooo]

Using ssd220 for boot drive since 2016 no problem. Better than my intel ssd that keeps giving troubles.

are taiwanese brand.

Donkey engineers that 2014 period they overlooked some issues.

I forget which pin, but if your display port has an extra pin, it will causes power interference. Those intel ssd will refuse to boot up, they keep blaming it's bad cable ( to be fair to some extend yes) but others with samsung ssd has no issue, swapped to a even older ssd no issue either. Or just use the making tape to mark the extra pin hack lel....

I don't recommend that you look at a specific brand. Each brand typically specialises in a limited range of products, even though they offer a lot of products. For example, Gigabyte is mostly known for their motherboards, but look at the poor quality PSUs they sell. Intel SSDs in the past are build like a tank because of the price people pay. I paid 700+ for an Intel G2 160GB a decade back (and still working now with 98% health), versus you can find 200+ for a high end 1TB SSD now. While technology have improved drastically over the years, you cannot deny some corners will be cut to keep the cost down.

anyway if u want damn good realiable ssd, find those enterprise grade ssd. known for it reailablitiy as such ssd are meant for 24/7 usage one and warranty depends but i think at least 5 years.
