my experiences in SSD i changed 3rd time already.
1) in the year 2013 Kingston (SSDnow 128gb) lasted for about 2 years plus. lastly failed by can't detect at all all in suddenly. works well until the end of the day.
2) 2nd is the sandisk 120gb, this is the worst of all only 1 year then now it's not totally break down the reading speed still maintain 550mb/s but the writing speed dropped to 186mb/s. using crystal disk to test read and write.
3) 3rd just bought last week Crucial MX500 250gb 3D nand tech, test the read/write speed , read about 560mb/s write 513mb/s average. will see how long this beast can perform until then.

by the way just formatted to win 10 pro 1803 build, raw install with drivers everything included total consume about 36gb.

Noted and thanks.

Just wondering whether you had about 10% unused GB on your SSD. They say this will prolong the SSD life.

36 GB after Win 10 Pro? Maybe I dont really need 256 GB. 128 GB may be enough for me. Ha. But of the price difference is small, better just get the 256 GB SSD.

lol yes i was very free that day i experiment the win 10 installation. i tried fresh install the first win 10 version, after install then auto update to the latest version build, the results is occupied 46gb! and then after that i format again and fresh install, this time i straight away do fresh install latest build. the result is occupied 36gb. means if u fresh install the latest build compare to install the very older version build and then auto update to the latest version, the difference is much. and also very very waste time the auto update from old version to latest version. now i save this latest 1803 build ISO file in a bootable pendrive.
