- jen729w 8y agoOh, of course. But it’s many times the average spinning-rust laptop hard drive lifespan (for your average user).
- opan 8y agoNot necessarily. There was a story just the other day about how someone's SSDs at their business were failing for unknown reasons without the proper warnings. I must've read it on another device, as I can't find it in my history. I believe I saw it on HN.
- jen729w 8y agoNot necessarily, no. But on the average, definitely yes.
