I recently bought two SSDs from Chinese brands I had never heard before. My thinking being that they were reasonably priced (a bit cheaper than name brands but not by much) and that probably no-one would fake no-name brands. Reviews seemed to be mostly genuine as well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so far they seem to work fine, we'll see.
What do you store on them? What is your backup policy?
I built a NAS off them. They're in a ZFS mirror and important stuff is backed up offsite.
I’d try to fill them to 30% to see if they survive before trusting them with my data.
