SSD Reliable?
by GPGAgent from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BHX2)
I installed a Crucial MX500 250 GB CT250MX500SSD1(Z)-Up to 560 MB/s (3D NAND, SATA, 2.5 Inch, Internal SSD), Metallique in June this year, 6 months on it's failed. This disk had a good reviews on Amazon.

gparted cannot find it so it looks like it's totally deceased.
I'm reluctant to go for a replacement ssd, can anyone suggest a 'better' ssd? i.e. more reliable?
I liked the speedup it gave to my machine (Mint 20) but only lasting six months doesn't enthral me with any enthusiasm to repeat the experience.
I've hauled out an old 1TB Hitachi hdd to replace it for now and get my dev machine up and running again.
