SSD disk selection
-
Well, after the sudden death of my SSD, I'm looking for a replacement.
I've seen this one:
https://personal.kioxia.com/en-emea/ssd/exceria-sata-ssd.html
For 58.90 on PC components, it's a 480 GS
Based on the specifications, I think it's good, any other suggestions?
Would it be better to have two 240 SSDs in RAID 0?
The use would be W10, AutoCAD, and some games.
For storing photos and other things, I have 500 GS mechanical drives.

My suggestion is a Sandisk Ultra II of 480 GB, it comes out about 10 € more expensive but it is SLC.
About the RAID 0 on SSD... if you are going to throw like a madman of sequential writing, without hesitating for a second; if that is not the case, you may find that, because of the controller, in random reading/writing it performs worse than leaving a single disk.
Apart from that, for that you should get an NVMe, because that is what they are for.

If you mean solid state drives with M2 or similar connection my motherboard does not support them.
And the corresponding adapter forces me to change the graphics from the PCI x16 port and I don't think it's worth it.

I am from Samsung to date, and the operation is perfect in every way.
Personally, 256Gb seems a bit short in the main drive, which is why I bought a second 500Gb SSD later on.
I have no reference to that brand, but I trust quite a bit of those that give a long warranty, like Samsung, whether in years or in terabytes written.
About RAID 0, since I work with SSDs I don't see any special practical utility, because as @whoololon comments, sometimes the performance is even lower than that of a single drive, and in general, the possibilities of losing all the data are doubled with the mere failure of one of them...

If it does not support the M.2 format, it does not matter, it was a functional alternative to the idea of RAID 0.
As a general rule, SATA SSDs perform practically the same, in that case, I focus on cell technology, as I mentioned before; but it is also a matter of taste.
What I would not do is get a small SSD; depending on the controller you get, it will go like a shot at the beginning, and as it fills up, the performance will plummet. Beware of that.

You brought up the issue again.
Would a PCI to mm adapter be a bottleneck?
Can it work as the only storage system?
For example, this adapter

What do you think?

Well, I answer myself.
The BIOS theoretically supports booting from PCI express, but since my PCI express are gen2, their speed is 500mb/s, so the "invention" is not worth it.
So in this case, it's more worth it to use an SSD.
