I am looking for suggestions now that my Samsung SSD is giving me problems. I am getting the BSOD stating Read/Write errors. After investigating, I found that SSD's have a tendency to fail after Read/Write are not infinite. Never knew that.
I am simply using this SSD for Windows10 startup and a few programs. One being iRacing (racing simulator) and it is imperative that the drive read/writes fast to enter into racing sessions. In other words, a normal HDD takes upwards of 180 seconds to launch. I need this to launch in like 30 seconds.
The SSD worked great at first. Windows startup was fast and iRacing sessions were opening inside of 60 seconds. I was pleased with the purchase. This was 2 years ago now.
Now I cannot even trust my SSD for iRacing. I use a normal HDD for it now but it is painstakingly slow. The problem is the longer the load... the shorter the practice I get before a race. Races give 5 minutes of practice at the beginning of a race session. I sometimes cannot even run 1 lap of practice because the load took 3+ minutes.
So do I go with another SSD for speed and hope it lasts longer than 2 years or do I bite the bullet and get a 10K RPM HDD?
