Well, here's one story on the web for you about SSD failure without total data loss: I've had an SSD that just refused to write anymore, but all the data was still readable. All I had to do was buy another SSD, dd the old SSD's data over to it, and go on my merry way.
- pessimizer 14y agoSame thing happened to me, and at the time I had no idea that that was how SSDs failed - it was my OS disk, and suddenly I couldn't sudo. Popped in a bootable USB, and had the data copied off and a replacement SSD in within a couple of hours. I wouldn't depend on that failure mode, but it's a nice feature.
