Meanwhile, my SSD literally died a week after the 2-year warranty was over.
Thank you for your great advice, Jow Forums
SSDs last longer than HDDs they said
dont buy shit and you wont have this problem
NO MECHANICAL MOVING PARTS!

A thread died for this shit. sage
I don't trust SSD. Failure modes depend largely on firmware quality and are not well understood yet.
HDD arrange data in a physical pattern on the recording media that is robust over time due to magnetism's greter stability vs. tunneled electron charge in SSD, and that also makes it much easier to rescue your data *right off the platter* if necessary when something goes wrong.
Until SSD have a standard interface for data rescue, I'm not trusting them much.

So they're literally no better than HDDs

Literally rigged to fail just after the warranty ends. And it's nothing new in the industry
There is also some history of mature analog/digital/mechanical hybrid recording devices (like HDD) actually maintaining superior performance over solid-state systems until some time after the fully electronic replacement is introduced.
In some cases, the new solid-state devices are not adequate in one or more areas to ever replace the older tech.
Witness the persistence of linear tape as a large-scale, stable backup media.
RAID 1 them you poor faggot

i've had mine for 6 years, no problems
