Hello community

After using XAMPP for years I decided to try Wamp instead, and I'm pleasantly surprised.
It installed without hassle and it offers better GUI for managment.
My intention is to use it as web development before I upload web online.

Currently I have approx 300 projects, mostly Joomla, Wordpress and my own php mysql stuff.
Approx 100 GB of data. If I delete redundand projects It would have approx 60 gb of data.
It's on Seagate HDD disk.
So I was thinking to do upgrade and to move server into dedicated SSD.
Because there are a lot of small files, frequent file manipulation would be much faster on SSD.
My OS and programs are already on Intel 535 SSD. but I would put whole server on own SSD.

My current choice is this one:
[www.samsung.com]

I still need to decide should I get 250 or 512 gb version.

Reasons:
- good specs
- MLC memory (more write cycles than cheaper TLC SSDs)
- Overall good reviews

Do you recommend any other SSD for this task?
What would be your choice for this task?

Requirements:
- Reliable
- Reasonably priced
- MLC
- Good with small files



Thanks,
Regards

Hi,

Whether you are advising on the use of VirtualHost or possibly MariaDB vs mySQL or a version of PHP, yes, okay, it can fit into our area of expertise; But advise you on using a SSD, it's not in our area of expertise.

As far as I'm concerned, I use a Samsung 850 EVO 1TB SSD for everything, with nine partitions, multiboot W7 and W10 Pro 64 bit.
