Yeah that used to happen, but they are a lot better now.

What I haven't compared in a while is the performance of a SSD versus a RAID of spinny SCSI drives. It used to be that you weren't getting that much more (if any more) performance out of SSD, and you were sacrificing a lot of space. IDK, though, SSD performance has been going up like exponentially and prices going way down.

The early cheap SSDs, I guess it was MLC?, had poor MTBF, and the early expensive ones, SLC I guess?, were tiny. I stay away from total no-name stuff, but the name brand SSDs are affordable these days. <$200 for 2TB which is more than most people need. It depends on what you're trying to do, but I wouldn't recommend spinny drives to normies outside of bulk backups.

Might be time to give them another try. The Samsung SSDs have never failed me. The only mechanical drives I trust are HGST helium filled and they're harder to come by now. I get WD and Seagate mech drive failures showing up routinely. Depends on if you keep them cool, like all electronics... What brand do you like for mech drives?

lost all that child porn huh?
