Hello,
My modest homeserver needs new mirrored boot drives. I'd like to keep it inexpensive but reliable.
These drives won't see much use outside booting, software updates and a few logfiles. The server has a working UPS so I don't view PLP as a must.
I'm definitely overthinking this considering the price, but still wanted to check so I don't waste time with known errata or unavailable firmware updates.
My local options are:
2x Intel DC S3500 300GB for 45€ each, used, unknown SMART data
2x Samsung 850 Pro 256GB for 30€ each, used, <10k hours, <1 TBW
2x Samsung 870 Evo 256GB for 55€ each, new
I'm leaning towards a pair of the 850 Pros.
