a lot of samsung drives have firmware self-destruct degradation bugs lately for some reason, so absolutely avoid those. People miss how much of a security risk using w10/11 is because microsoft is constantly pushing updates that break your install like an xp era virus used to, or just straight up doing malicious things adware and other malware used to do. these are not "security minded" operating systems. You are not "better" for using win10 in terms of security.
