Not anymore. You shouldn't be storing anything long term on an ssd anyway.
Yes.
Having an SSD is like having a book, where everytime you read it you rip a page out.
>>52151539

>>52151424
>Is it true SSD's have a shit life expectancy?
Mostly true.
I haave to constantly copy/paste my SSD files onto mechanical drives every 24 hours. By the 25th hour, a byte starts fading away until information is compromised.
I think it's because SSD's story information by electricity, and if you leave them off to long (what I do), the electricity will gradually fade and compromise the data greatly.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend SSD unless you really value speed, but just make sure you have an auto-backup mechanism that can ensure data integrity to reliable storage mechansims such as HDD.

It really depends on the work you are doing. They can have shit life due to write amplfication. This happens from very small writes.
Try to do this more in cache rather than on disk, and an ssd will last a long time.
No, fuck off.

Worst analogy, baito-kun.

I write around 1 TiB/mo to my SSD - 8GiB RAM, hibernate couple times a day, torrent, image editing and mysql for research purpose.
Given that, i will cross 75TBW, after 6 years, 1 year after warranty expires anyway.
Normal people won't get any close to that line and who would, will buy higher grade ssds or server grade ones.
>>52152428
no it was a shill article that defies basic math.
>"they can run constantly writing for years"
3rd graded can do the math and find out that SSD will die after 1 to 14 days after constant writing (depending on the capacity)
also they are notorious in the VFX community where Maya / 3DSMax etc are literally nuking it with temp and preview render files, wasting like 1TBW after 1 day of work. So they last about a year if you actually use them.
Also SSD are go against 30 years of standards of abstraction layers, where they are breaking the rule where software should not care about hardware used. Look at this shit. You have to disable prefetch, superfetch,hiberfiles,caching,swap and 5 other things, now windows does it for you if it detects this defunct technology.
inb4 some autist that only uses it to boot his OS and his gaymes and dont write anything to it except new Call Of Duty once every half a year will call me a retard.

Not days of constant writes, ALMOST A YEAR.
>>52151574

That was true years ago. They required partition aligment and silly rituals to make them durable.
Now they coud easily surpass the average HDD, if you do with it a normal use (Like don't installing gentoo every 3 weeks and shit)
>>52151424
yes, compared to a mechanaical drive. however, a decent (non ocz) ssd will still last you a fairly long time.
for archiving, use an hdd. for normal everyday use, an ssd is great. in particular, for laptops, since there are no moving parts, an ssd is more durable than an hdd. as long as you regularly backup your info onto a separate drive or online or someplace you know is safe, you will be absolutely fine. if the ssd fails, just get another drive. just like when you use an hdd.

>>52153671
Not that anon, but mechanical drives can fail at any time, even as soon as you first power them on (albeit some brands have better QA, like HGST, especially for long-term failure rates). SSDs nowadays are extremely durable (like you said) and no subject to the type of random failures you get with a mechanical drive.
Also when SSD's fail, they usually just lose the ability to write data to the flash cells, they can still be read (and backed up) though.

I have had 2 ssds both die in about 3 years
Kingston 64gb jmicron controller w/o trim went read only
Mushkin chronos 120gb sandforce controller began having I/O stalls and is useless to read and write because it freezes the system
Also had a crucial ssd with a Toshiba controller render a whole system junked because every 1 hour of uptime caused a freeze because ssd smart calendar bullshit
Next is a crucial mx200. Every ssd I have purchased has failed. Never had a HDD fail in 15 years.
>>52151424

He's not the only one.
I had PSUs fail, mobo capacitors blowing up, a whole bunch of dvd burners that stopped burning, two GPUs that did burn despite not being supposed to, but never a HDD failure.
I still have my very first 20 year old 650MB ATA harddrive somewhere, and it's still in working condition. Only reason I'm not using it is I have no ATA motherboard to plug it into.
>>52151574
this. SSDs are basically RAM with a battery. unless you have a separate always-on PSU for the SSD, it will start losing data after 1-2 days without power.
Decided to upgrade today despite it still running strong after 3 years of running 24/7 then left unused for another 3 (because traveling with laptop instead). New system deserves a faster interface/drive.

yes, all of this is true. if you buy a shitty enough ssd, it can also fail at any time. ocz or anything with those shitty sandforce controllers. but as was said before, as long as you back your info up regularly, regardless of what drive you have, you'll be fine. nothing in my previous post was incorrect. for normal everyday usage, ssd. for archiving, especially when considering cost effectiveness, hdd is the way to go.
>>52154148
not that anon, but since 2002, i've only had one hard drive fail on me and that's because it fell off a dresser while running. i've not had a single hard drive fail on me throughout these 13 years apart from the one i dropped.

Not him, but learn to read morons. If you do constant write at the normal SSD speed, let's say something likewhile true; do dd if=/dev/random of=~/byebyessd bs=1024; done;then your SSD will last days.

>>52156081
Which is an extremely impractical example that does not apply to most users. You're essentially trying to tell us ssds suck because you can write bad software to spam specfici cells till they die at max speed and keep doing it until no more replacement cells are avaiable.
If ssds are so bad then why does linustechtips use a 48 ssd raid configuration for all their video editing storage space?
>>52156141
Exactly. I work in a datacenter and SSDs do die more often than HDDs there, but only because our clients use them for some serious fucking shit in RAID arrays and more.
>>52156141
What at your whole post.
First, dd isn't a bad software. Like wtf.
Second, those 4 users were replying to someone saying the test about SSD life expectancy made a stupid claim
>"they can run constantly writing for years"
No, they can't. If you put that line I wrote running for a year I promise you you won't have a writable SSD. They can be used for years, which is something very different from "constantly writing for years".
>>52156188
Because Linus has enough money to replace his SSDs at the end of every month.
:^)
>>52156195
There's a large difference between constant writing and constant writing at max bandwidth.
And that's only if you actually think they die at the rated warranty lifetime which they don't as seen in the techreport.com article which shows some brands can go up to 900tb written which even at a nice 500mb/'s for a Sata ssd would take 20 days.
And again is highly impractical for almost all end users who don't purposefully bomb their ssd.

Good SSDs have multiple PB of write endurance.
If your SSD has a typical write speed of 500MB/s, then even after a month of writing it will only be 1.3PB.
>>52154842
>0 fill
>>52151424
I bought my first one 5 years ago. It's still working fine. I don't care what the manufacturers claim though, I minimize the writing done to the ones I have, and don't put a swap partition on them. Generally I put /boot, /, /usr/, and /usr/local on a ssd. /tmpfs goes in tmpfs usually, and /var, / home and swap go on a hdd.
>>52151424
It varies, but SSD failures do stand out in comparison to HDD.
Good tier SSDs like Samsung PRO series have better life expectance than the EVO series equivalent, but this is not guaranteed as anything can happen.
Currently the Samsung 840 PRO 256GB has survived longer than other main SSDs in a particular long endurance test which does multiple writes of data to the SSD and the only other SSD that was also still surviving the test was a particular Kingston HyperX SSD (can't be familiar with exact model other than it was close in time of release with the Samsung).
When a HDD fails it is normally Bad Sectors (most common failure) due to age or impact or bad physical movement to a given machine (PC, laptop, etc) where data can still be accessed (some data can be corrupt or inaccessible though) whereas SSDs with little to no moving parts either fail completely or have poor performance issues.
It is possible to have a semi-dead SSD where you can access data from the SSD before it cuts out or cause a system-wide freeze to the whole machine.
While system-wide freeze is rare there is also the full power off for the machine when attempting to access data after a while or at worst the machine might not power on with a particular SSD connected which is faulty.
HDD can also have similar issues, but is more rare as bad sectors is more common than most other failures.
SSDs do suffer from degraded performance in time and this applied to all SSDs which is a common issue, but not a failure as the degradation is not measured well which is something many manufacturers get away with a lot.
I remembered Mushkin doing a SSD update which degraded the performance of their SSds and the performance drop was very bad.
>>52151424
they don't have any fucking moving parts. they obviously last LONGER than retarded spinning disks. also when SSDs meet their write limit (which will be LONG after the spinning disks on your HDD have shit themselves) your data does not disappear in a puff of green sparkles. you will still be able to read your data as much as you want and salvage the data from the drive completely.
>>52154519

The 1TB model will use 256Gbit flash I presume?
I just bought an 850 EVO 250gb, installed the OS on it and all, seems to be a good drive, but when I installed Magician I noticed there's already 0.20 TBW, within a day the drive wrote that much shit. Now looking in the samsung support page it says the life expectancy of the drive is 75 TBW. Should I be worried? At that rate I think the drive is not going to last 2 years.
>>52161269
Mine said I had 30TB of data written on it. That's just silly.
>>52161293
How long is it? I heard the life expectancy of old drives is even lower, I think for the 840 EVO the max TBW is 44.
>>52161319
It was shortly after I bought it back in 2014. A 840 EVO before the little performance bullshit with older files.
>>52161348
Well it looks like it'll start deteriorating soon then, either stop moving files around or think about replacing it.
>>52161390
It was a new drive. It's impossible to have written that amount of data to it after just a month or two of using it. I won't be changing it anytime soon.
>>52161269
That's just the limited warranty bro. You guys are making way too much of this. Any modern SSD (purchased in the last 3 years) will have a similar, if not better life expectancy than your existing spindle drive. Look at the MTBF specs for your drive, not the warranty (MTBF = Mean Time Between Failure) . Also, check it: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2856052/grueling-endurance-test-blows-away-ssd-durability-fears.html

Intel fuck off and make your xPoint cheaper. Samsung is going to make another hole if you keep stalling.
I was somewhat of an early adopter and I'm still using that old SSD. It's working flawlessly.
>>52161512
Intel's reliability is the best in the SSD business. Most people don't really need that reliability though, especially if you're paying nearly twice as much per GB. SSDs should be OS+application drives, all easily imaged and archived. So if your SSD dies, it's no big deal as long as it's within warranty. Get it replaced, re-image, and off you go.

It needed a firmware update for that issue with my Samsung 840 EVO 1TB SSDs.
The issue is annoying as I have a 1TB SSD as a Steam Library storage with games (Windows) and another 1TB as external storage for a Mac with a LaCie external enclosure I modified with the SSD instead of the 1TB HDD (USB 3 and Thunderbolt connections).
My internal SSD for Windows is updated fully, but I only did the first main firmware update for the external SSD and not the latest.
My SSD needs to be removed from the enclosure and installed into my PC which is a pain to do. More so with putting the SSD back in more than anything.

Datacenters have high temperatures, just the thing SSD's don't like.
They are the second coming of christ if you ask me. Fuck HDD's

Intel seems to over price for their SSDs just like they used to with their fucking motherboards.
Samsung seems like the best make per price and performance. Crucial and Sandisk follow behind closely and so does Toshiba probably.
I have only used Samsung SSDs and I haven't tried the others besides 3.5" OCZ Vertex 2 120GB SSDs (x2) in Raid 0 from a long time ago, but so far I have not had failures and for my EVO firmware updates cleared their issues despite the issues being annoying.
I did use to use a 840 PRO 256GB SSD, but upgraded to a 850 PRO 512GB SSD as I wanted to be a little more lazy with managing data.
All of the SSDs have been good and no significant performance changes were seen between firmware updates.

>Phones use flash storage (probably a different type from pc ssds) and they seem to work fine for years.
The controller is different and the amount of chips used. The technology is the same.

That's because old SSDs were actually better, people put effort into making their architectures. Nowadays 90% of the new SSDs use shitty Marvell controllers.

Degradation from original performance? This is the main issue all SSDs have. I measured the original performance (from early use or first test runs with later use with the same test) to the performance I had later.
CrystalDiskMark was my preferred test at the time. There are probably better tests around.

Unless I buy a fucking generator worth ten times my whole rig it won't be enough.
I'll also be moving around february, am I expected to keep my desktop powered while I'm moving it?
>>52162149
Even with degraded performance a cheap SSD will still be better than the fastest Hard Drive available.

wake me up when they can beat seagate in reliability

I still got a 128GB Maxtor IDE drive, it still works though it's been months since I last checked.

win 8.1 boots faster than either 10 or 7 for me, too bad they fucked something up with 10 as far as booting, lock screen (have to wait until it shows image while 8.1 loads it instantly), and restarting speed is concerned
I got a 830 256gb in 2011 with like 15tb writes to it. Its still at %99 health or something.
Anybody else got a ssd as old as mine?
>>52151424
only old or really really cheap ones.
my agility 3 was still going strong until I sold, and I assume it's still doing just fine.

I don't think you should be storing anything longterm locally anyway. Everything fails eventually and if your house burns down you're fucked.

I have a 830 120gb with about 16 or 17tb written to it and its absolutely fine.
Also have this thing >>52164635
which is older and a lot slower (maybe 80mb/s sustaoined write) which killed muh ssd r bad meme for me.

>lost his shit
>no need to backup
Apparently he needed a backup after all.
Never got anything to fail on me for 15 years with all my hardware being powered on 24/7
Y'all niggas must be emanating EM radiation or some shit and spreading bit-cancer to everything you touch
I'm gonna start asking interviewe if they ever had shit fail on them at my job. I don't want no techies fucking up the server farm with their bad luck
ive been using the samsung 840 pro for 3 years no issues yet, running the OS
>>52151424
They do eventually die from too many reads and writes, but you would have to be constantly copying, pasting and deleting stuff from the drive to make it fail before something 10x the size becomes the norm. I've run an OS from one for several years with no problems yet and have a 2gb one i've used regularly for almost 10 years now.
