The benefit of ssd is that you can almost exactly predict when a ssd will fail. You know the read and write IPOs. You know when they fail.

- PaulKeeble 10y agoI dont know about that. Every SSD that has failed for me did so quite unexpectedly and prematurely, I haven't yet taken an SSD to its write limit and none of them have survived more than a few years except the very first Intel 80GB gen 1.
- ReverseCold 10y agoI've never had any storage medium fail on me, and I feel like I do a lot of read/writes. Exception is a flash drive I snapped in half once. Oops.
- ams6110 10y agoNever had a failure on any of my personal laptops or PCs. I see it all the time though at work on our servers. I think what an individual considers a lot of read/writes is a drop in the bucket compared to what servers do.
- tracker1 10y agoI had my first Intel 32/40gb fail just outside warranty (originally 1 year iirc). But I was so addicted to the speed difference I kept with them... The price difference isn't bad for laptop/desktop use now. But man, can't even consider it for my nas.
- vidarh 10y agoUnless its the controller or firmware that goes bad... I once had three SSDs from the same batch (in different RAID sets, thankfully - we mix and match) go within a week and all had completely garbled SMART data. But overall I prefer SSDs - just mix and match different models/manufacturers/batches in different RAID sets as for HDDs.
