niphilim222 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Hello my ssd is on the way out, sad face, performance is degrading quickly. Got any leads on a replacement. I was thinking of a firecuda 1tb model for the main os and letting my ssd die slowly as a storage drive. If you can help me find a replacement at a decent price that would be greatfull. firecuda, not to sure about this drive. https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16822178996 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMod Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 That's not a SSD, that's a hard drive with a tiny flash memory cache. It boots Windows quick all right, that's all it does quick. Are you sure your SSD is actually dying? Copy everything from it to a hard drive and secure erase the SSD, flash it if there's new firmware, see if the problem persists.

niphilim222 Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) Finally i guess i will wait until it does die, and firmware fails stating it already has the latest firmware already installed. read write is showing its age, its dropping slowly, read 420mb's was 500mb's=write 120mb's was 300mb's sometimes transfering files fail to secondary drives. Also 12terabytes have been writen to date. Edited April 18, 2017 by niphilim222 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3s7ing Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) 12 Terabytes and it's already failing? Damn... that's sad :sad:If you're using the 850 Evo in your description, what about warranty? I'm not completely sure if it helps with performance loss, but it should cover failure and so on. Maybe worth a try. Got both my drives running for around 2 years now with total written data of around 40 TB and performance hasn't changed since I installed them (still at 560 read and 530 write).So I would still support Samsung ^^ even if they're a bit more expensive (but hey, they got a 5 or 10 year warranty). In case of price/performance ssd's Crucial seems to do very good at the moment. Tested one of their MX300 series last and can't say anything bad about them. 1 TB ones should be around 290$, 500GB around 160$.Also, you will get highly disappointed if you try to replace an SSD with an sshd... not even near the same performance.
