      kinda amazed I had the premonition of this and set up the OS on a RAID 1 array distributed over every single drive so at least the system still boots

      DVDs rot even with nice climate. I have hundreds I really need to attempt to move to SSDs.

      In bad climate they can. I had lots in spindles where the label side & sharpie ink transferred to the bottom side of adjacent disc due to heat and/or moisture.

      Moved to only using SSDs because a dozen HDDs died one by one over several years. 3x Samsung EVO SATA SSDs (2x 128GB, 1x 256GB) have lasted years with no problem. Ended up giving in and buying a high-end 2TB NVMe SSD when the 2nd last 640GB HDD died (no more live HDDs left now).

      Not a fan of the M.2 thing. Fragile if you have to move it to other boxes. Much prefer 2.5" form factor w/plastic enclosure.

          Linked both SATA and M.2 variants since they're the same price for these (29 cents / GB). These are SATA over M.2 rather than the fancy NVMe 960 EVO / PRO so the only real reason to prefer them is saving a bit of space including fitting them into current generation laptops.

          they don't have 2 TB NVMe drives, or I think I would've upgraded my laptop to one

          Have one in this workstation! https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/solid-state-drives/ssd-960-pro-m-2-2tb-mz-v6p2t0bw/ … 960 PRO has a fairly significant premium over 960 EVO and they don't have a 2TB EVO though.

          Can see the premium from https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/solid-state-drives/ssd-960-evo-m-2-1tb-mz-v6e1t0bw/ … vs. https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/solid-state-drives/ssd-960-pro-m-2-1tb-mz-v6p1t0bw/ …. PRO drive is faster (3200 MB/s read -> 3500, 1900 MB/s write -> 2100, 380000 deep queue read IOPS -> 440000, etc.) with 5 year warranty vs. 3, significantly higher write endurance, bit lower power use.

          Paranoid about having drives die which was half the reason for getting it, but also only have a single PCIe x4 M.2 slot and there's no 2TB 960 EVO. Well past 1TB so would have ended up needing to use SATA SSDs again already.

          They have the PRO distinction even for the non-NVMe 850 SSD. The PRO seems aimed at workstation / server usage where you're still buying consumer style hardware. The premium is mostly for them being longer lasting / more reliable on average.

          Have some really expensive hardware right now... but endless AOSP / Chromium / LLVM builds really justifies spending even more. Unfortunately, Intel totally screwed up the enthusiast CPU line this year by being cheap and not making proper integrated heat spreaders anymore.
