+OLD CS1 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I have five 120GB SATA SSDs, 2.5" form-factor, pulled from retired desktops and secure-wiped. 2x Samsung 840 EVO 2x Samsung 850 EVO 1x Intel 320 Series I have used all three models in my Amiga 4000D with CyberStorm Mk-III and ACard (R.I.P.) UW-SCSI-to-SATA converter. $5 each, plus USPS First Class, which should be between $3 and $5, depending upon your location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were in workstations from 9-to-5 offices. This is partly why I was only asking $5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can use the Samsung Drive Magician, too, but you are the only one who cared about it. Maybe next time. I SMART tested my spinning rust drives when I wiped them, but the SMART reader does not report well for SSDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amiman99 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I'm using one 120GB SSD as a TEMP drive for all temp folders, virtual memory, etc. Seems to speed up my PC. I know that it may not last long, but at least it feels speedy. Is it a good idea?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SSDs in those have out-lived their hard drives. Eventually the SSDs may die, their lifespans may be more relevant for some uses and loads than others.
