All drives can fail. Not including servers I've managed I estimate I've had more than 10 hard drives fail, all of which were well below the manufacturer's state

All drives can fail. Not including servers I've managed I estimate I've had more than 10 hard drives fail, all of which were well below the manufacturer's stated MTBF.
My first SSD (low to mid range) failed within the first 3-6 months but the replacement has been going for almost 2 years now.
- mauriciob 15y agoThe replacement is always better... somehow.
- j_s 15y agoIs this similar to how lost things are usually in the last place you look for them? It does make sense that people would continue replacing something until it worked!
- chimeracoder 15y agoSure, but there's no doubt that SSDs on average wear out faster, which makes them that much more expensive a choice. It may be worth it in the long run, but you have to keep that in mind when making the choice.
