Definitely recommend this approach, listenbrainz end-of-year recaps are quite similar to Spotify. Plus their tagging tool is great

Samsung SSDs seem fine, I actually use one of the cheap SATA ones as a boot drive, but they had a firmware bug a while ago that destroyed 990 and 980 pro NVMe SSDs. And I dislike Samsung in general so I’d rather not buy from them if I can avoid it.

Great. What SSDs are worth buying then? Kioxia? Solidigm? Never going to buy WD, Samsung is on my shit list too but if there’s no other options left…

edit: just read that solidigm also exited the consumer business at the start of the 2025, amazing
