In years past, there were many SSDs worth picking from, today there are far fewer. These will change over time, however this list is accurate as of January 2023:

— Premium Gen4 NVMe Drives

— Budget NVMe Drives

— Premium SATA Drives (with DRAM)

— Budget SATA Drives (without DRAM)

On each product page, you can generally select your size, compare the prices at the size you're looking for as one brand might be a better deal at 1TB, but another is a better deal at 2TB, and so on.

Just going to shout out the video sponsor, I've bought keys from there and everything worked just fine. The key migrates onto your Microsoft account.

I do love your videos, & 20 years ago was semi-retired... wife got sick, lost her to cancer... rental property gone, money gone, Congestive Heart Failure, started over at 50, in poor health. Husband & wife should have life insurance for protection of Both. My first wife prodded me through the MCSE, & A+ programs in time for the2000 DOT bomb. But I did like computers... I build a company network with used parts, even made a server that I could dial into from home :-) old school now... Looking back, I would have wanted a good friend to make sure I & my wife had life insurance that could protect the life we had. My wife thought that husbands go first, so her cost would have been a waste of money. I lost her when she was 53. It took be years... to kinda recover, & I didn't have kids to deal with, I just hope both of you have ample protection. I love your videos, the kid's builds are great, as well as your walk thought the past SSD's :-) (I really don't intend to be a bummer, but your retro SSD's brought back some old thoughts...) & I hope you & Your's are all well & good . . .

I would love to see a history series on all the motherboards used on the channel 2016-2023

[goldenheartOh]

Love the fun little videos inserted here & there. It's not enough to drastically change the tone, but enough to make it more fun.
& as always, it's great to see another Tech video!

Thank you for talking about sk hynix nvme. Finally! I'm using p31 1 tb for last 1.5 yrs in my 10850k machine and absolutely happy with it.

My mom uses a Sandisk drive, 64 GB. Plenty of space for Windows 10 (it’s the 32 bit version after upgrading from Windows 7 Pro 32 bit, old office HP USDT 8200 PC) and Office.
It was the second SSD I bought. The first one was a Samsung 830 256 GB SSD, it was the first consumer SSD, if my memory serves me right. It is still used in an old laptop. I bought it in June 2012 for over € 200.
I can buy Fastro M200 2 TB drives for about € 120. They are comparable to Samsung 970 EVO Plus, but a lot cheaper. A brand that almost nobody sells, but the performance is great.

[musuhakrab]

in my local area, decent 2TB of gen 3 NVMe SSD can be found under 180 USD, while gen 4 NVMe SSD priced at least 300 USD / more. even samsung 990 pro 2TB priced at 420 USD.

at 170 USD you can find SX8200 pro, meanwhile at similar performance gen 3 samsung 970 evo priced at 230-240 USD.

Hoping for your 2023 Tech Deals take on the Intel 905p. currently between jobs, but thats going to be my next purchase to run my OS from.

[nicksterba]

Hello Tech Deals! I've been watching your videos for a little while now and think they're great! Thank you for the realistic ruminations for PC tech. I was wondering, will you guys be doing livestreams again and will you be posting content to the byte sized tech channel? Thanks for doing what what you're doing 👍

Btw, I'd love it if you looked into the new Sabrent Rocket 4.0 Plus G with the new DirectStorage firmware. I bought one to try it out, but it's been causing me some frustration as a secondary drive. Logs lots of errors and had to disable PCIe power features to get it stable

[jGRite]

With what's going on with Samsung ssds right now those skynix ones looking really good.

[flaviopresutti]

I have an other question.
In my pc I have an i5-9400f and it seems to me that for Premiere Pro it is not enough, I want to change the motherboard and the processor to an i7-12700k.
My question is, if I change the motherboard and the processor, can I keep the same installation of Windows 10 that I already have installed? Or do I have to reinstall everything again?
Just more info on my pc... RTX 2060, Motherboard z390- APRO, RAM 32GB DDR4

[clpittm]

Can we bring the live streams back please sir. Keep up the good work!

[cracklingice]

Ha I was just wondering if I watched and forgot or missed p4

[BOXabaca]

There are more than 3 makers of NAND. There's Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron, Toshiba/Kioxia, YMTC (soon to be banned from import, but still in existence otherwise)
