Although cheap SSDs are an attractive alternative to replace your hard drive, there are some pitfalls consumers should be aware of.
There are many budget solid-state drives available on the market, but often it is better to spend more money not to fall victim to the compromises manufacturers make to bring the cost down.
SATA is slower than NVMe, and each interface regularly undergoes revisions increasing the transfer speeds. Since an SSD’s lifespan depends on the number of terabytes written to its memory cells, wear levelling is a protective measure that moves the data around regularly, ensuring some memory cells do not degrade faster than others.
SSDs that store their data maps on the NAND flash modules will also have a shorter lifespan since there is more overwriting of data.
