Hello :) I would like to install a bigger KBG40ZNS256G TOSHIBA MEMORY than the one installed in my Surface Laptop 3 13 inch. Which one would be recommended? Is there a performance penalty? What are the alternatives?

Hi, I am using the Samsung 860 EVO (1000GB, mSATA) together with the renkforce Raspberry Pi® USB to mSATA converter on a Raspberry Pi 3 (see Linux RaspiBolt 4.19.66-v7+ #1253 SMP Thu Aug 15 11:49:46 BST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux). This single board minicomputer runs the Blockchain (BTC) with a Lightning Node (LND) (see link: https://stadicus.github.io/RaspiBolt). This is a very intensive IO application and so far I could not find any problem (see link: https://1ml.com/node => Search for "iFIT [LND]"). Conclusion: I think the "thing" does not run badly, but you have to treat this storage like all SSDs, i.e. always check for badblocks and make regular backups. With thanks and greetings L.A.
