How reliable are these? Good for storing games and loading big software?

I still have 240gb PNY from 2013 or so as boot drive in service. That one had DRAM though. This should be fiine for storage or even as C: on cheap machine.

I don't really need one right now, but I'm loving the prices on SSD right now.

Despite the less than $50/TB price, I still prefer 2.5" spinning disks. They seem to have fallen out of favor and there are no deals. I don't like the WD proprietary drives in case I want to pop it out and plug it into a SATA interface. I want the portability of the 2.5" vs 3.5" drives.
Wait, really? You prefer spinning disks to SSDs dollar for dollar for general usage?

This is the first I've heard of this… Is there something I don't know about spinning disks? I thought SSDs were basically better in almost every way compared to spinning disks?

Like if I had to choose between a low end 1TB SSD and a high end 1TB HDD for the same price I'd go crap tier SSD every day.

I'd thought the reason HDDs were still in the market was because you could get huge drives much more inexpensively (16TB for $300 @ $18.75/TB for example).

Sorry maybe I'm missing something it's been a long day.

I've got one that's the C drive for my big Plex server/Video Conversion machine. I've literally replaced everything on that PC (Case, mother board, RAM, etc) to where it's a completely different machine over the last six or seven years, but the C drive is still the same old PNY SSD that's been powering it forever. I've got another PNY SSD that's a clone as a backup, but I've never had to use it.

Obviously, that's survivor bias, but I've had ridiculously good luck with them.

Agreed. I've been buying PNY stuff for years. They have invariably been good value and reliable.

This drive would be ideal for breathing some life into an older laptop while providing plenty of space for games and videos.

I've only had one SSD drive go bad, and it was a PNY. I was shocked because I figured that drive would work forever. It was less than a year old, so they replaced it for free. Not TC'ing, but just know no SSD is foolproof.

it depends , spinning drives are more reliable when it comes to data storage . it may not be as fast as ssd's but they are very reliable . also spinning drives gives you warning(most of the time) before it fails and data recovery is little bit easy , on other hand , SSD fails randomly and because of TLC and controller issues , recovery is not that easy

SSD for everyday use and games, multiple HDD backups for storage. Now if I was rich my PC would never see another HDD lol. I'd just keep multiple large SSD's.

SSD should not be used for archival storage. Data at rest is not as stable as mechanical drive.
SSD drive should not be relied on in very hot environments, especially without being powered and can have some data loss.
SSD has limited write cycles and should not be used in high write environments, like a DVR.
SSD can be used in a NAS as cache drive but it should be treated as a consumable and you should keep an eye on the write life cycle.

SSD is good for a day to day computer. It is much more reliable for catastrophic failure and mechanical failure but it is not as good for securing your data long term. Mechanical drives absolutely still have a use, even at the same price.

Are you sure? This is 2022 version and must be better than 2013 240gb. I bought that one too back then for around $120. It is still running on my Lenovo z50 laptop. You mean this 1tb version will not boot up or running fast as the 2013 240gb version.

SSD's are very good and better in almost everyway. However i have heard that deeper stored Items are recovered quicker using HDD's than SSD's. Hence why alot of people use Intel Optane
