Fragility is the price you pay, and that leads to very demoralizing breakage and repair. I stopped all development since my 400GB 540s main desktop SSD corrupted after only 5 years of 24/7 operation.
Meanwhile my 40GB X25-M runs flawlessly after 10+ years of 24/7 operation.
These newer drives probably have very advanced error correction systems that will hide defects for long enough that you get comfortable. Redundancy saves you from catastrophe, but not from the depression that follows the realization that everything is crap.
- CyberDildonics 4y agoAre you saying this based on any data or evidence that relates to this enterprise drive or are you saying it because you personally had a single drive fail on you?
- bullen 4y agoI have one drive that failed, but I have maybe 6× older 24/7 drives that haven't. If you make the probability of those numbers you would panic too. The most recent broke first. Brace for impact.
