Obelix   11 #13 Posted July 5, 2018 Then how is my hiberfil.sys on my C? and that's my SSD... Same as Windows Restore points, also on C (got them disabled for my D)  Not sure. Perhaps windows 10 if thats what you are running permits them. Windows 7 certainly doenst let you however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Ghozer   112 #16 Posted July 5, 2018 Well I assumed no one would be stupid enough to be using 10 but there you go....  Not getting into the 10 vs 7 pros and cons etc, and I only said silly, not stupid... that's taking it a step far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
apelike   10 #17 Posted July 5, 2018 ... you can end up writing a lot to the SSD when you hibernate or crash which can hammer them quite severly.  That's an old outdated idea that really no longer applies with most SSD's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
ez8004 Â Â 10 #18 Posted July 5, 2018 I personally would stay away from Samsung SSDs. Ever since the Evo 840 debacle, I have never trusted them since. My go to brand is Crucial since they are the consumer arm of Micron. I would consider Sandisk or Kingston, simply because of the excellent after sales service.

apelike   10 #19 Posted July 5, 2018 Must admit Sandisk do have a good after sales service. They sent me a refurbished replacement for one that died, and sent me a brand new replacement for another that died.  Now its always Samsung for me, although the Crucial ones are also very good and comparable. The Kingston ones tend to be a bit slow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The Joker   10 #22 Posted July 6, 2018 I personally would stay away from Samsung SSDs. Ever since the Evo 840 debacle, I have never trusted them since. My go to brand is Crucial since they are the consumer arm of Micron. I would consider Sandisk or Kingston, simply because of the excellent after sales service.  I've upgraded dozens of HDDs with Samsung 850 and 860 EVO SSDs and never had a problem.  The 250GB 860 EVO is currently available for £60 from Amazon  https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B078WQJXNF/  Even a tightwad like me can't complain at that price.
