After my last SSD died, I'd have a hard time trusting SSD's again for backup purposes (this is probably 8-10 years ago though I suppose).
It was more the way it failed - I had one or two boots where a few errors started to pop up, and then the next boot, nothing - the disk had disappeared to the BIOS' eyes and any other tools - just dead as a doornail with no easy way of getting any of the data off it.
I assume they've improved in that regard, or are spinning platters still a safer proposition over the long term?
- mmt 8y ago8-10 years ago is a very long time, especially for what was still a relatively new, low-volume product in the consumer market. > I assume they've improved in that regard, or are spinning platters still a safer proposition over the long term? I don't think you need to assume..just check out what statistics are out there. Sadly, I don't know of anyone publishing numbers for consumer SSDs like Backblaze does for spinning disks.
