Yeah, a while back we discussed those indeed, however the amount of SSD models that I would call properly built are getting lower and lower on the market...

- MLC NAND
- RAM Cache
- Proper Power Loss Protection with Solid Capacitors that are small and yellow on the PCB usually.
- Garbage Collection that works properly in case of unavailability of T.R.I.M. in the specific use case.

Basicly stuff that's similar to the old Intel 320 and Intel DC S3710 or Crucial M500/M500 DC for example.

The only similar product that I have seen over the last couple of years is this : https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/1662200/samsung-pm9a3-m2-960gb.html
But with the current prices that's insane for just a Router/Firewall setup and is also TLC NAND based and 110 mm. in size instead of the usual 80 mm. that I think most Mini PCs like to use :(
Weird guy who likes everything Linux and *BSD on PC/Laptop/Tablet/Mobile and funny little ARM based boards :)
