I want to upgrade some of my older machines with some new, high(er) capacity SSDs (SATA and nvme). I don’t need super high speeds, just something in the TB range in terms of storage.

Problem is, there’s so much garbage out there, I can’t really tell, which SSD is inexpensive and reliable and which is just utter garbage.

I thought about buying new, but last gen Samsung/WD SSDs.

Intenso and Fanxiang both seem to have been around for a few years, but reviews seem to be mixed.

    Personally I use Newmaxx’s site and spreadsheet which has more indepth information about the SSDs like their controllers and NAND type - https://borecraft.com/
    You can also check their subreddit for some reviews and such.
    That and some stats from Backblaze and general reviews.
    And I use price trackers to make sure I’m getting a good price.

    I don’t like going by specific brands, because they all have some less ideal models and some of them tend to change some of the components after a while.
