[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1803326, member: 175845"] I haven't checked lately, but it seemed that most of the better brands have a warranty of 2 to 3 years with the better brand models covered for five years. The cheaper SSDs seem to have all one to two-year maximum warranty. It's interesting to read Western Digital's note: The "endurance limit" is interesting, especially if you read the article: [I][B]Speeds, Feeds and Needs – Understanding SSD Endurance[/B][/I] [url]https://blog.westerndigital.com/ssd-endurance-speeds-feeds-needs/[/url] The bottom line from that article seems to be, don't over-buy or under-buy the SSD storage one would normally be using, which can be quite expensive for the user if they go to far either way. Neither did I know, that one can wear out an SSD before it's warranty has even run out. Now how would they know that such a drive has been driven or used beyond it's storage endurance limitations if it dies before it's warranty time???? - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
