You do have to sacrifice a little to fit a terabyte and all the right controllers onto something the size of a thumbnail.

- devoply 7y agoYeah in terms of reliability it's a lot. This form factor needs some sort of revolution to bring up its reliability to the same level as hard drives.
- hathawsh 7y agoIt might be enough to simply have a "raw" mode that bypasses most of the controller circuitry. That way data recovery companies could work their magic and we could choose to use more of the flash cells for error correction.
- TickleSteve 7y agoindustrial spec cards have bad block management and wear levelling, commercial cards do not (typically), hence their poor reputation.
- monocasa 7y agoPretty much all cards have wear leveling and bad block management. The commercial cards just have such shitty, bottom of the barrel Flash that they simply wouldn't work most of the time without those in place. ie. they're not features put in place for us users, or to differentiate their product line, but instead so they can hit the yields they're looking for.
- sebazzz 7y agoDon't SSDs "RAID0" their internal chips to gain some performance gain? If so, then that could also explain the difference.
- GordonS 7y agoHa, yes, that's a fair point. Reading my comment back it was a little harsh!
