8 years is a good innings for a 950 Pro; they run hot & hungry, and wear quickly. Your passive CPU cooler won’t have helped keep it cool nestled under there either.
Like I say, just get a modern, high-end consumer SSD like the ones I mentioned above and don’t sweat it.
ectoplasmosis-
Cheers. Sounds like a plan. I just have to remember how I cloned my partner's one. :S
As per the Android thread I need to come up with a better plan for moving data between laptop and PC (maybe just ditch the PC and use a better laptop only) and some kind of cloud backup that isn't as slow as Glacier but doesn't cost the earth. That way when a boot drive dies I don't care, I just resync the files from the other machine or cloud location and build another machine.
hippy
I'm not. But I don't like wasting half a day or more trying to sort out dead machines so I was looking for durable over fast.
I'm half tempted to just replicate my main drive to a cloud provider or something and then sync with the laptop so the computers are quicker to replace when something dies. Personal DR planning...
I mean, I did get 8 years or so out of my PC's boot drive, that was a Samsung 950 PRO M.2 512GB NVMe SSD
