Question SSD china aliexpress

[johnmullins]

Which brand of SSD from China do you recommend?
I have no money for expensive SSD

Hello,

What is your budget?
What size of SSD are you looking for?

Cheap SSD drives can be made using old technology.
The old technology seems to wear-out sooner and the new ones.

I would still go for major brands like Samsung, San Disk, Crucial or Western Digital.

I have a 500 Gb SSD NVMe as disk for the linux operating system and a Toshiba 2 Tb HDD for data.

"Cheap" means low quality and poor reliability. Is that what you want?

 

[dave9]

Cheap can mean many things but usually it means lower performance, particularly if they omit a DRAM cache, and could also mean counterfeit or false capacity rating.

Recognize that flash chips are a large part of the construction cost and a highly sought after global commodity and shouldn't be cheaper in China, unlike many things. A good Chinese SSD would not cost enough less to be worthwhile, especially if there is no way to get warranty service from a US location.
