Just looked at 29 dollar after a promo code for a sata III 120 gig ssd at newegg in my gmail cuz I bought 120 gig micro sd card from newegg for my Samsung S7 phone. My previous Sandisk 64 gig ultra micro sd had just died. On that phone.
I run AntiX on SSD on my Chromebook and on this Dell Laqptop.

I was interested in 120 gig ssd upgrade for my Chromebook. Since I have the 16 SSD model. So I saw a total of 91 reviews and decided to look through them. I seemed to notice all the neg. feedback came from Windows users .
So I ran the Linux filter at Newegg. Lo and Behold. All positive reviews.
Just something I learned about reviews this morning is all.

Wish i'd saved it, but I saw a decent youtube video on SSD's. The take away for me was don't fill it up, a full SSD has a shorter life because of the way it oranises data. So I wonder if the bloated (Compared to most Linux Distros) windows was the cause for the shorter life? Thus bad review?

Thanks all for the input. Oddly, or perhaps not, I trust this site more than tech mag editors. I went with a WD 4Tb HD. I try to back up weekly but (at least with my previous device) keep it off when not in use.
