I've worked on some interesting SSD deployments / experiments a lot over the past 12 months. Quite honestly - I wouldn't go anywhere near Samsung products regardless of their 'PRO' labelling or otherwise.

We have had great success with both Sandisk Extreme Pro SATA and Intel DC NVMe series drives, we've also recently deployed a number of Crucial 'Micron' M600 1TB SATA drives that are performing very well and so far haven't given us any issues.

I've done similar over the last three years and had good luck with the Crucial drives. However if you take a look at the Linux Kernel patch they link to (search for "don't properly handle queued TRIM"): https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/e64f638483a21105c7ce3...

There are Crucial SSDs on the list. I'm going to be keeping a closer eye on them now.

Yeah I saw that - although that's the older, now discontinued series that has a different controller and doesn't show the same consistent performance as the newer M600 drives.
