    Seagate SSDs - anyone using them?

    Used to be a Seagate fan boy when they offered 5 year warranties on almost all their drives many years ago.
    In fact still have a few 2TB drives of that era working happily away.

    Then they decided to drop to 2 & 3 year warranties and the quality of their disks dive bombed accordingly.
    So I then switched to WD Golds on HDDs, and as they didn't do SSDs at the time tried many other brands.

    They seem to be having a wake up period lately and their Iron Wolf disks are gaining a lot of attention.

    And more recently their SSD's also appear to be winning fans, has anyone used them?
    I notice the 5 year warranty's have returned on the Barracuda & FireCuda options, they're all at appealing price points as well.

    I'm mainly interested in their SATA M.2's and 2.5 SSDs as sadly my laptop doesn't support anything faster.
    Aiming to perform it's one & only upgrade to max RAM and storage so that I don't have to take it apart ever again.

    Nope, sorry. Only got a few, and they're Crucial and Samsung.

    No worries. As it turned out Seagate aren't doing SATA M.2, the one I was looking at was listed incorrectly, they just do the faster PCIe so I've decided to give their 2.5 Barracuda SSD a go along with Crucial on M.2 SATA. It's a nice upper mid range. I didn't want to go as high performance as the Samsung EVO to avoid any excess heat generated within the laptop.

    I'll report back on how I get on with the Seagate SSD
