Hi all,

I've just purchased the Dell Inspiron 3891 desktop which comes with 1TB HDD.

Plan to buy a SSD, mainly as a boot drive (no gaming or any graphic designs, mainly work, surf, video, music).

Can someone give some recommendations? Really headache already after reading a lot and there are just so many brands/types out there.
- I guess 500GB should be just right? Actually 250GB should be enough but I thought that might be a bit low
- Wish to buy some more reliable/ durable SSD, but have no idea which brand to go for
- Below is the available slots from Dell, I guess I should go for M.2 PCIe NVMe?
- Not particular on budget, maybe RM 200 to RM 600, but guess I don't have to overkill and get some high specs/speed SSD?

Any guidance is very much appreciated

Never had pny or adata, SSD I have before 2.5 inch 128gb plextor, Kingston and Corsair can last me 9 year only start showing health drop to 76%

Currently I'm using 2.5inch 1tb SSD MX 500 and another 1tb for d drive, 4tb blue HDD for E drive has been using more than year nothing to complaint

Which seller really trusted on online ? It'd be hard to find a well pack and trusted seller for HDD.You know , our parcel all throw here and there.And the warranty issue like 7 days warranty.

I live in KL most item also bought from KL/Selangor seller

I bought 2tb black HDD from WD official packaging very good come with thick air bubbles throw here and there won't be a problem as long not to do it under powered on, same for WD 4tb blue also no sign of problem after 4 year+

crucial MX 500 1tb and 2tb both also 4 year+ no sign of problem too , since is a solid state normal packaging throw here and there also won't causing much issues other than real physical damage

Really depends your luck and your hunch some seller just too good to be true .
