Ask anyone with a circa-2014-ish Macbook Pro about Samsung SSD reliability.
The samsung-made drives lasted about 5-6 years. Everything seemed fine, and then one day you'd get a spinning pizza of death, power down, power it back on...and your SSD was...completely gone. Doesn't even enumerate on the PCIe bus. It's just gone.
Screw the SSD chipset manufacturers for not making sure that their controllers can at least a)still show up on the bus b)be read-only in some sort of recovery mode.
- SV_BubbleTime 4y agoNot sure why downvoted. A recovery mode seems absolutely possible and I don’t care if it’s 100kbit over SPI. It’s better than losing everything.
