Whilst going full libreboot and modding a QX9300 into a T500, slow hdd storage is painful too a price to remain full libre. We know for a fact, that all Sandforce controllers and basically every product from WD and Seagate are backdoored. You can isolate it using USB 2.0, but it's too slow.
Non Western Sata SSDs it is then. All chink government PCs use Renice and/or Runcore SSDs, since the chinks wrote their own controller and built it themselves backdoor free. I have seen those two recommended often.
Anyone got experience or with those? Any other suggestions?
Also saw a IT-Security Blog doing a great explanation in detail, can't find it right now.

I don't. The choice is between a Highly Likely backdoored, supported by evidence western drive and a drive that may or may-not have backdoors eastern one.
If I had the choice, I would rather give my data to China instead of the NSA.

That's like picking between AIDS and HIV, you'll still fucking die
Let's say I'm Russian. What is worse, NSA or China? Or it doesn't matter? (Now that the Russian puppet was made your president, will it mean that NSA shares all data with FSB or what?)
