SSDs do not fail
they do
chinkshit ones do.
We haven't had reports of failing Chink SSD, though
well, less likely than HDD, amiright ?
thank you Aerione
they fail over long periods of time
not really, unless you use your laptop as a hockey puck when it's running
after continous use
Well, SSDs don't have moving parts
So they cannot get wrecked by physical shaking
HDDs will, however
Still
please SSDs can fail but the warning signs are so obvious
Going by the TLC/MLC standards set by the manufacturers
that in a few decades or so
"so obvious"
The cells should last double the duration of an HDD, at worst?
you'll have it not work anymore and move your data out
if you see a help ! my ssd is broken thread on /g then it's me..
"OH WHAT IS THAT? OH MY FILE SYSTEM JUST GOT CORRUPTED"
Windows 8 and up warn you when you SSD starts to fail
And that's roughly 2 thousand or so cycles before it does
can't like disk drives quarantine the damaged sectors and still be usable except for the damaged part ? why do they have to fuck up all at once ?
So far, I haven't actually seen that warning screencap show up anywhere, so I assume we'll have to wait a bit longer
windows normally warns you when your hdd is about to fail too
doesn't work errytiem
Yeah
Cause HDDs can break physically
You cannot account for that
If the spinner fails, it's gone
If the platter fails, it's gone
The creator of the Linux kernel blogged this week that the SSD in his workstation simply stopped working, interrupting his work on the Linux 3.12 kernel.
"The timing absolutely sucks, but it looks like the SSD in my main workstation just died on me," Torvalds wrote. "I had pushed out most of my pulls today, so realistically I didn't lose a lot of work."
If the electricity fails, it's gone
ssds can break physically too
If you open it up and wreck it that way, yes
"oops that solder point just came loose"
While there are no moving parts in an SSD, the semiconductor components can fail. For example, a NAND die, the SSD controller, capacitors, or other passive components can -- and do -- slowly wear out or fail entirely.
"If the electricity fails, it's gone"
No, its not. I unplugged my pc many times before.
