What model/form-factor are these? I might throw forth 'first dibs' ... unless there's any other takers biting?!

Looking at what you've written above still doesn't make sense - you've only bought two new drives and are apparently keeping two of them as spares after wiping them. So what are the "rest of the drives" you mention? So confusing...I hope that you haven't been losing sleep over this Comrade :) Each PC had 2 internal 1Tb HDDs and an external 1Tb HDD backup caddy. However, in the past few days things have changed. Having built the Ryzen Box I ordered 2 more SSDs to upgrade my work horse, thus releasing two more 1Tb HDDs I then found that the performance difference between the Ryzen and the AMD FX Black version in the main box was nothing to shout about, especially as I'm not a gamer/multi tasker. So I removed the Linux loaded SSD from the Ryzen box and have donated the latter to my son, who has been struggling with a 10+ year old Athlon. Now left with a single SSD, a quick search on Ebay found an identical FX processor, m/b and RAM on offer for a decent price, so another SSD was ordered so that my testing/sampling PC is now identical to my main PC. With a change of m/bs and disks I always do a clean install. In answer to your question, yes most impressed with the SSDs performance. When installing Debian from a DVD the transfer rate was so fast I couldn't read the names of the packages. So, after I have wiped the 4 1TB HDDs they will be up for grabs free and gratis on this list. David
I could be super-picky and ask for smartctl outputs, but .. maybe I'll hold off :D
