Hello,

This is the new yearly poll for sharing your preferred storage solutions and covers both hard disk drives and solid-state drives.  The previous year's poll can be found here.

Please feel free to describe what you are currently using this year, plus any planned upgrades.

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky

I have always like Western Digital, and always will. Samsung are kind in the SSD world, but I digress..

For my network storage, Seagate has been rock solid for me. For ssd, i have tried a couple different brands, but Samsung (voted for) and XPG have not let me down yet

Seagate for HDDs - replaced Western Digital - due to dropping prices for the Deskstar half-height HDDs - the seriously increased storage for the size.  Example - my last Deskstar has four times the capacity of the Deskstar that it replaced - despite it costing half as much.  Price for terabyte is now all of $25 per terabyte vice $100 per terabyte.  Scary shocker - the two drives are physically the same size.

I no longer recommend Samsung because of recent problems with their firmware. I bought a 990 after their first firmware fix but I still see problems with inconsistent performance in the SEQ1M Q1T1 test. Instead I use an SK Hynix Platinum P41 which has performed flawlessly so far.

Gotta shop around for deals. Got my last external for $15 per terabyte. Saw a deal for an internal 16tb for $9 per TB.

NVMe all the way in a computer but I have HDD in my NAS. I have all WD but I plan on getting a Gen5x4 for my gaming computer soon and that will probably not be WD.
