Oops, sorry, you asked for disk choice. Choose different vendor, same size for data... Why? Different time before failure. Also, if you are ok on 'tweaking' firmware, maybe go for green and disable head parking if you use them 27/7. Also, double check temp which it can work at, and check where it will be standing? Under and behind a table? Keep in mind, some ssd might have higher temp then spindle disk, that would assume you would think on extra fan, but extra fan would have same sound effect as spindle drive... Especially if cheap fans used ;) So... Hope this helps ;) On Sat, 26 Dec 2020, 22:41 Ruslanas Gžibovskis, <ruslanas at lpic.lt> wrote: > I use 1 ssd for OS.
