@AshBunny i am a simple bean i see a taur i think wow taurs are good. more taurs is more good. its simple math

it turns out storage devices are a land of endless compromises and tradeoffs in a way that interacts poorly with my desire to get the best possible value for my money whenever i have to spend over a hundred dollars on something

@Hearth im trying to do research on this and people keep saying that the lifetime of an SSD is pretty predictable but they keep phrasing it in terms like "drive writes per day" and "cell write endurance" that seem to require an understanding of how exactly SSDs work in order to turn them into a consumer-usable measure of how long i can expect my $200 piece of hardware to last in practice

@Hearth as someone who doesnt know much about any of this: if a cell has a write endurance in the hundreds, how does that translate to, like, expected time that a drive will last before it fails

@Hearth i mean i'd like it to be on most of the time, but also i am bad at planning things in advance and want to minimize the painfulness of making further changes to the build in the future

@Hearth the other consideration is reliability - my understanding is that an ssd has longer MTBF in general than an hdd, and also i'm moving soon and it would be nice for peace of mind to minimize the risk of accidentally fucking something up while handling my computer down the stairs - i dunno, maybe i'm too worried about such things

@Hearth yeah im considering it. currently the only drive in that computer is a HDD and i want *some* kind of SSD in there to boot from so it doesn't take three minutes to boot. but i guess i could just get another HDD for the actual storage. i dunno

Furry, EC, might be suggestive

@sinvega she may be dead, but what she represents very much is not

So I recently found out that you can sort of... Make your own models for OOT and MM? ... ... I may have to make Linkaniko happen now. XD

@fluffy i was hoping for 4TB SATA... crucial mx500 4tb is sort of the upper end of within budget for me... hmmm

okay, thank you for the feedback

after a bit of research i figured i should clarify what im looking for

the non-nvme ssd is for a network file server, so i care about big storage, frequent reads, infrequent writes. not so much about ultra speed
