"Consumer-grade SSDs actually last a hell of a long time"
"Consumer-grade SSDs actually last a hell of a long time"
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/...f-a-long-time/ I've got four of the Intel 5xx series here in the office with no failures. Three of them are over a year old. Lynn |

Three of them are over a year old. A year isnt very long. It is if they are being torture tested during that entire year. I've had one of my drives for over 425 days, and it's "only" had 11TB of writes to it (and it's only a 240GB drive). So it's nothing compared to the 700TB to 1PB of writes that's happened to these drives. Yousuf Khan |

For a data-drive possibly longer. Arno |

Three of them are over a year old. A year isnt very long. Another factor to consider it how long the data is retained; consider both the case of un referenced data when the power is on and all data when the power is off. (As the memory gets worn out the data retention time decreases. So un referenced data can be lost. Most, if not all, current devices will automatically check and refresh things if the are powered up, but powered down retention time might have originally been 15 years or more, but less than 1 year on a used device.) It is if they are being torture tested during that entire year. I've had one of my drives for over 425 days, and it's "only" had 11TB of writes to it (and it's only a 240GB drive).

Excited it might still be working in another 10 or more years. []'s -- Don't be evil - Google 2004 We have a new policy - Google 2012 |

A USB flash drive is not the same thing as an SSD, even though they both use flash storage. The SSD would have much more sophisticated load balancing features, and much more redundancy. Yousuf Khan |

I was just pointing out that sizes get redundant much faster than durability. Ten years is more than enough. []'s -- Don't be evil - Google 2004 We have a new policy - Google 2012 |
