Note that it wouldnțt help in this instance, as the bug is caused by the amount of time a drive was running. Different manufacturers would work, yes.
- vidarh 7y agoThat's true. But it's easier to sell people on avoiding mixing batches, and it catches the most common reliability issues. I'd never personally trust my own files to drives from a single manufacturer, though - I've seen too many problems with that.
- CarlRJ 7y agoNeed to age a few of the drives by a hundred hours before putting them in the set.
- imtringued 7y agoThe problem with SSDs is that they are too reliable and when they fail they fail reliably. The only reason why they fail is usually an intrinsic flaw in the hardware design or firmware which all SSDs of the same model share equally.
