I'll start...
My Team Group L5 LITE 2.5" 240GB SATA III 2D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) died in just a couple
days of use.
Bought this for a PC I'm selling as an OS drive. I got the machine installed and working, then the drive died a couple days later. I won't be ordering from them again based on newegg and amazon reviews stating similar early deaths. I didn't give those poor reviews much credence because in my experience SSD's rarely die, and these had a 3 year warranty - BUT... for a few $ more - it's probably worth buying a more established brand with less poor reviews for future purchases. I noticed HP NVME's are $37 for 240GB. That's the route I'll go this time. Instead of the Team Group for $27. Faster, HP namesake reliability, HP EX900 M.2 250GB NVME for just $10 more. Would have saved me a ton of time if I just started there.
Team Group SSD purchased from Newegg on ebay.
