Hi all,
Just wondering what the current recommendations are for 1-2TB nvme ssds are these days. Need to replace the boot drive in my sons system due the current one starting to exhibit IO errors.
Currently has a Kingston KC2500 1TB which has been fine until a month ago, where the recoverable media errors jumped from less than 100 to more than 447K according to the SMART data. The Kingston diagnostic software says the drive if fine, but windows is also showing IO errors in the event log and its had to run chkdsk a few times on boot as well, so I’m going to replace it irrespectively of what the Kingston software says.
The motherboard is an Asus TUF Gaming B560M plus Wifi (for Intel 11th gen), so limited to PCIe 4.0 on the first nvme slot. The slot has its own heat sink, so a drive without a heat sink is preferred.
