Goldenfir SSD stopped working

Today I was surprised by the Goldenfir SSD that was in the Home Assistant notebook, because it stopped working. The notebook showed a read error on Linux, read-only file system, and when I turned the notebook on again, it no longer recognized the SSD.

I opened a dispute and I am waiting for AliExpress's decision, but what I can tell you is that Chinese SSD brands are a lottery.

[Update]: AliExpress refunded the full purchase amount.

This SSD, for example, had less than 1 month of use and already had problems, in addition to the 1 TB XrayDisk where I ended up losing money.

For anyone who wants to buy a good-quality SSD, the brands I recommend are Crucial or Samsung.

The one I am using here is the MX500, but I also had the BX500 for a while and ended up selling it. I never had any problems with either.
