Not just fakes that but I'm also finding consumer ones seem to die a lot...

I ended up building a NAS from 2nd hand enterprise SSD plus optanes. Cheap, fast & resilient.

Normally not so keen on 2nd hand storage, but the combination of enterprise (tons of endurance) plus full mirrored is an acceptable risk to me. And (also mirrored) optanes for metadata and small files means everything feels super snappy
