>buying shit brands
i have 4 samsung ssds, the oldest is from 2013, written about 63TB to it and its still at 100%

Computers are for work, games are for kids.

I keep all my data on my home pc and remotely access it if I need i.e stream a movie or game. I have 120gb ssd on my laptops because cheap if it breaks and I'm not an absolute idiot and make backups.

SSDs are only good for OS installs and that's it. Direct all of your installs to other drives. Keep a clone with all your drivers and basic software installed for redundancy.

FUCK SATA CABLES AND FUCK MOLEX

3 Samsungs, two of them second hand, not a single problem

I've had my Samsung pm800 for 9 years now. It performs practically brand new, stop buying shit brands

>I've had my Samsung pm800 for 9 years now. It performs practically brand new, stop buying shit brands
I've had intel 480gb SSD die within 3 weeks of being taken into use, the type with 5 year warranty.

>been using SSD's since 2015 and have written over 5TB
Nigga I'm at 4 TB on an SSD I bought in October. Do you even use your computer at all?

Molex? Its current year.

Reminder.

Just buy the cheapest SSD. I've had kingston, crucial and sandisk drives from 2011 that I still use everyday, never had a single one fail. If you have important data just back it up on something else. Don't let HDD autists meme you into wasting your time and money

I've heard some pretty bad things about Intel SSDs being on the cheaper end

That bullshit is worse than the "dragons vs wyverns" shit on other boards

Fuck, a dude had a discussion with me over it because I called a minecraft building a dragon like 6 years ago.
I mean, we were talking about fucking blocks or whatever and then that dude comes in.

That will unironically die before the cheapest HDD you can find

I bought the 1tb version. 200tb endurance is meh, but its replacing my older 950 pro 512gb nvme with its 150tb rating, which was used only as a game drive with 6tb written to after four years.

1tb nvme with 1600mb reads and 1300mb writes for $126 for game storage? can't beat that at all.

took them about a decade to dissapear, and I know I'm not representative of an average home, being a gentooman and all, but I still have and use 2 CRTs. As a better example: the first flat screen in my parents house appeared about 10 years ago, and they have had nothing but flat screens since 2012.

If the 400 TBW is to be believed, you would have to be writing over the entire drive over 20 times a year in order to hit TBW in less than 10 years
Not hard to do in a enterprise scenario but for normal PC use you must be doing some serious shit to overwrite a 2TB drive that many times a year

Based sour grapes poorfag.

why didn't you take the cheap professional installation?

HMMM I WONDER WHICH WILL BREAK FIRST

>assuming it is not exposed to shock forces above 35g

HDDs are noisy, slow and bound to fail.

I'm still using my PCIe SSD from 2011. It's only 128GB too.

>Crucial

They are one of the best brands on the market, fucking educate yourself.

I still have my Crucial M4 after like 7 years

Just like my hard drives.
Fucking I had my 5th Seagate to die on my within 3 months. Can you believe it?

Are you one of those people who doesn't know what a warranty is or do these just have shit warranties because they're shit brands?
Also, you'd think you'd learn how to read TBW after this many years which went from shitty on average a decade ago to being amazing even for consumer stuff (as long as you're not buying shit brands.)

>Fucking I had my 5th Seagate to die on my within 3 months. Can you believe it?
get a better power supply + surge protector

I have a APC Smart-UPS and a 850W Seasonic, less than half a year old. Everything else works fine too.

2018 was the year I went fully SSD. Including in my fileserver. Not a single hard drive in the household anymore.

Enjoy your data loss in a few years

gg ez no re kthxbai

>he STILL thinks SSDs have a short life.

yikes

They lose data if kept disconnected long enough.
They also have a write limit.

Explain? I make scheduled backups...

The backup SSDs are not disconnected, they just aren't written to.

>APC Smart-UPS
get rid of this

>they just aren't written to.
Expect turning backups of course. Can't expect you tards to not take everything literally.

Yup

Try western digital dude

Why?
Our company uses them too, never had a single problem with them or because of them.

does amazon actually contract out people to show up to your house?

Is there a way to lock a windows boot drive to prevent any writing to it? Even updates. I want a read only ssd bootdrive. How do?

Out of two dozen SSDs I've had since 2009, 3 have failed, twoo of them failed as read only, meaning the data was easily recoverable, 3th ones controller died and since I didn't use encryption, it would have been as easy as replacing the controller to recover the data, similar to moving plate from a dead hard drive.

I don't have proof but I'm pretty sure the combo of high quality PSU and some sort of line conditioning is the key to making HDDs last longer.

>1tb nvme with 1600mb reads and 1300mb writes for $126 for game storage? can't beat that at all.
I did beat that, with SATA MX-500's in RAID0. The 250GB ones were on sale for 30 bucks each. I have 600MB higher reads and 700MB higher writes, not even going to mention the IOPS. Plus it's not QLC.

The Smart-UPS is DC/DC though.

oof playin russian roulette with 2 chambers loaded thar cowboy.

You can't boot Windows without writing anything, you'd need at least a RAM drive or a shadow drive. Yes it's possible, google is your friend.

First it's a game drive, don't care about data loss. Second they have a 5 year warranty each.
Still really well priced read/write/IOPS for 1TB of NAND storage in total.

I just bought a 500 gb m.2 samsung evo 970 and stuck my OS and apps in it

Shit's fucking cash, I don't need to wait eternity for apps to load. Even fuckign chrome that has 50 tabs just opens instantly. I still do have 2 HDDs to store my files

>I want a read only ssd bootdrive
For what purpose?

Consistency. Always have the same system boot up without any changes.

>The experts from the magazine wrote bits of data on the SSDs using a special tool programmed by one of their experts to both analyze the performance as well as to constantly fill the disks with data.

>The outcome of the tests conducted were astonishing: All of the drives tested were able to write more data than what was promised by the producer. Even cheaper drives were able to write more data than promised: The Crucial BX 200 drives were able to write 187 TB and 280 TB – that is more than 2.5 times the figure promised.

>One of the Samsung SSD 850 PRO drives achieved a figure of 9.1 petabytes of data written! That’s 60 times the TBW figure Samsung promises on their data sheets. The other Samsung product – the Samsung SSD 750 Evo – was able to write 1.2 petabytes of data, which equals (in theory) to more than 80 years of constant writing. However, the pro models showed why their price is higher: None of them did write less than 2.2 Petabyte of data.

>The test clearly proves that the fear of a limited life span is highly exaggerated in most aspects.

Paranoia since SDDs consume lifespan when they write

>Paranoia since SDDs consume lifespan when they write
Yeah but just move the cache, swap, temp and documents off the drive and even with updates and programs, it will outlast you.

Sorry, I don't speak nazi.

It's just a shitposting fag.

>9.1 petabytes written until it gave away
Holy kek

seething hddfag

t. shill

I wonder if you're just shitposting or does this burst your bubble of "oh no, I can't lie to myself that SSDs are useless because they have limited writes" that you want to believe because you're too poor to afford drives that cost less than eating out in a restaurant

HDDs are the superior storage option.
SSDs are meant for dumb consumers who don't want to save data for the future.

>Why?
because something is killing your HDD

>They're better cuz they're slightly more expensive
>le poorfag even though every poorfaggot can afford them
RETARD

Both are absolutely shit for long term storage. Tape with cheups every few years is the only meaningful consumer archival option.

Proofs?

So it is the latter and you're not just shitposting. Got it.
Thanks for making that clear.

Get a brain you retard.

I'm not that user, we just use them too. It's probably because he uses shitty HDDs or handles them badly, unless he's really unlucky.

Kek.

You don't even know what a brain is

>mx500 250gb
>100tb endurance rating for the 250gb versions
>raid low endurance drives
lol get fucked

It's exactly what you lack.

That's 400TB in RAID0. That's 200GB written every day for 5 years.
Plus it's twice as much what got with their 1TB QLC drive.

Not to mention:

>SSD as main drive for OS and program files.
>HDD (installed on same PC) for temporary file storage that you always use
>HDD (physically separated as NAS) for long term files storage.

>flash storage for archival
>wanting your electrons to leak out of the gates
And if it's not for archival, what do you need 2TB of storage for on a boot drive? You don't, and if you ever fill that drive up and want to save the data, you'll have to transfer it to magnetic or optical storage anyway.
HDDs are still superior integrity-wise, as they don't corrupt data when left unpowered for extended periods like SSDs do.
