If the electricity fails, it's gone

2016-09-06 16:29:34 UTC  

ssds can break physically too

2016-09-06 16:29:43 UTC  

If you open it up and wreck it that way, yes

2016-09-06 16:29:50 UTC  

"oops that solder point just came loose"

2016-09-06 16:29:59 UTC  

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.

2016-09-06 16:30:15 UTC  

"oops because of chinkshit engineering this solder point being loose just caused the whole ssd to wipe itself"

2016-09-06 16:30:31 UTC  

@trackky Referring to when it's interrupted hastily during an operation

2016-09-06 16:30:35 UTC  

"oops the ssd just shorted out between a data pin and a power pin"

2016-09-06 16:30:37 UTC  

It might corrupt an entire sector

2016-09-06 16:31:07 UTC  

SSDs require a capacitor and power supplies, which are vulnerable to malfunctions — especially in the case of a power surge or a power failure. In fact, in the case of a power failure, SSDs have been known to corrupt existing data too, even if the drive itself hasn’t failed completely.

2016-09-06 16:31:11 UTC  

Those sounds like issues you'd find out about right away, though

2016-09-06 16:31:20 UTC  

Just like with anything else

2016-09-06 16:31:23 UTC  

so do hard drives @Jignx

2016-09-06 16:31:29 UTC  

@Jignx that's the most common failure in the good SSDs you buy here, yes, but with chink ssds you never know if the soldering's shitty or something

2016-09-06 16:31:32 UTC  

We're talking about the possibility of it dying after a year of data storage

2016-09-06 16:31:36 UTC  

i mean HDD

2016-09-06 16:31:49 UTC  

In which the risk is significantly lower than an HDD, for instance

2016-09-06 16:31:52 UTC  

Even branded ones

2016-09-06 16:32:02 UTC  

Hell, Seagate had a 30% failure rate with their last batch

2016-09-06 16:32:11 UTC  

so TLDR

2016-09-06 16:32:14 UTC  

First year, that is

2016-09-06 16:32:16 UTC  

SSDs can and will fail

2016-09-06 16:32:17 UTC  

30% ?! that's retarded !

2016-09-06 16:32:23 UTC  

but has a lower failure rate than HDDs

2016-09-06 16:32:39 UTC  

My bad

2016-09-06 16:32:44 UTC  

It was ~43

2016-09-06 16:32:58 UTC  

remember when Seagate bought Maxtor and IBM Deskstar

2016-09-06 16:33:01 UTC  

so it's just the 3TB model, right ?

2016-09-06 16:33:06 UTC  

it's a sign of high quality HDDs!

2016-09-06 16:33:44 UTC  

Anyway, just like with most Chink shit

2016-09-06 16:33:46 UTC  

Don't go too cheap

2016-09-06 16:33:58 UTC  

I've had a Kingfast SSD for 6 years now, I think

2016-09-06 16:34:02 UTC  

Works fine still

2016-09-06 16:34:02 UTC  

ayy lmao, my seagate 3tb external hdd also suddenly failed after 2.5 years

2016-09-06 16:34:06 UTC  

it suddenly went POP

2016-09-06 16:34:08 UTC  

but muh papal 180 day warranty

2016-09-06 16:34:10 UTC  

never again seagate

2016-09-06 16:34:27 UTC  

it just clicked after that

2016-09-06 16:34:43 UTC  

click, click click click
