Have you replaced SSD's because of failure or to upgrade? I personally have never seen an internal SSD fail. My 2018 MacBook Pro has had zero issues, and I still use a Samsung Evo 840 SSD from 2013 in one of my PCs.
I'm not agreeing with Apple soldering the SSD to the logic board. But they do seem to be significantly more reliable than hard drives.
- rootusrootus 4y agoAnecdotally, I did have a Samsung T5 go tits up on me not long ago. But that's an external drive. Not from physical abuse, either, it spent its life sitting on my desk. I've never had any kind of problem with internal SSDs.
- i_am_proteus 4y agoUsually to upgrade capacity, but I have had one personal SSD fail (I've used... 30? 35? in the last decade). It was an internal drive, 60 GB OCZ bought in 2012, failed in 2015.
- ClumsyPilot 4y agoI had 3 SSDs fail in the last 20 or so yeard, 128GB and 256 GB ssds from corsair and one 512, i think that one was samsung, not sure
- doublepg23 4y agoI actually did have an old 256GB Samsung die on me a few months ago. I’d say it was from 2014ish and had double it’s write endurance.
- philjohn 4y agoSimilar here - 256GB 830 Pro, lasted damn close to a decade and was in my desktop, then my sons and finally my daughters before it died. Very high writes as well - it was a great SSD.
