Is there a source that I could access That compares hard drives especially SSD drives I'm looking to buy 1 or 2 and would like to get reviews and unbiased opinions

Here's one:

Took about 10sec to find by typing 'SSD comparisons' into Google.

Here's a good source for benchmarks on PC components.

I would just encourage you to base your comparison on quality / reliability, not speed (almost all the more recent designs are plenty fast), and not price (how much is your data worth?). Intel and Samsung have a long (and good) reputation, but that of late comers like Seagate and WD is largely unknown in the SSD world.

also pay close attention to the technology used. Is it ML, TL or QL, and what is your workflow? Each of these technologies has a different total number of writes and a different price. For example, the popular Samsung 860EVO is TL (three layer) technology - it’s spec’d at ~half the price of the 860PRO, but the PRO is ML (2 layer) and has twice the spec’d total number of writes, while the 860QVO (4 layer) is the least expensive of the lot, but the least number of available writes, and the total number of available writes ultimately can determine the longevity of the device.

I have 3 Sabrent M.2s... they are 24 on the list. I've had them for a year or so and they are excellent; I thought one of the best. They are fast and I've never had a problem with them. Build quality is excellent and you can even purchase a heat sink for them.

What TriX said is the best advice.

Samsung and Intel make their own silicon, and have decades of experience doing so.

7 from the top... better...

Tom's Hardware is another good source of info about everything computer-related.

Benchmarks are one thing.... but there are other things to consider: Price, warranty, etc.

First thing, though, is what type of SSD do you need? SATA, M.2, ease of installation, etc.

Once you know that, you can start shopping.

Tom's Hardware has their "best" picks of the different types here: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-ssds,3891.html
