SLC-Based SSD Recommendations

[Darryl R]

Can anyone recommend an SLC-based SSD for the OS in a music server?

I haven't seen an SLC drive in years. I haven't looked, but they used to be much more prevalent.

Thanks Chris.  Marcin is using one by Apacer, and they are still available from industrial suppliers.

Are you looking for a 2.5" SLC SSD? How much storage space?

[Darryl R]

I'm open to any suggestions for the OS, Ubuntu in my case (which the site says only needs 5GB) plus Minimserver.  I don't think I'm interested in Optane.

Ideally Intel X25-E should be the best if you're able to get that for a reasonable price, though it's difficult to find brand new ones

Thanks.  I already got an Apacer, per Marcin's recommendation.
