The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved.

    I prefer Samsung NVMe with MLC nand. But take a look here and here You will find more with a search.
    WD was known for their HD, but M.2 ssd's is new tech for them.

    My personal preference is Samsung, but WD is so far solid, at least in terms of initial quality. Haven't had them long enough to say for reliability.
