Goochman Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Anyone have some recent suggestions on SSD drives that work? I bought a Silicon Power drive a little over a year ago and its dead already - not crossing my fingers they will warranty it. I could buy another for $60 but would rather another brand which seems to last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're into keeping it all Atari all the time, they have an Atari branded Kingston drive on the Atari website for purchase. You pay a premium for it, but it's nice that they offer one now.

MikeM_ Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Western Digital (WD) and Samsung are going to have good build quality and longevity. It’s been a while since I’ve bought anything that wasn’t one or the other. For my setup, I am using a WD 2TB m.2 and a Samsung 1TB external SSD. Both are performing as I would expect.

Dead in a year should not be the norm, but stick with quality brands and you should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Ive been using SSD drives for over 10 years and in the last 2 years Ive had a Sumsung, SP and another off brand die within a year. All were warrantied but thats little consoliation when you lose your data or have to rebuild an OS. All of them have been these M.2 drives 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
