How long do SSD's last? My HDD is 8 years old, I'm thinking of replacing it with HDD+SSD, but I don't know if they're reliable. Obviously I won't waste my money on something that will die in 2 years.
>>
>>51897978
when SSDs first hit the market YEARS ago, they had a slightly shorter life span due to a limit on the amount of times you can write to the drive. Now the amount of times you can read/write is so many your mechanical drive will probably physically fail before the SSD stops working. SSDs are not prone to failure as much as HDDs are. Only reason not to put your OS on a SSD is because you are too poor for computers in the first place.

They're pretty reliable, they do have read write limits, but that becomes an issue in 5 years at a constant 24/7 read write.

More reliable too.

It's quality, not price. Typically it means the headphones have a flat response in a target zone. Most often that would be the entire range, but some ricey "fun" headphones subdue some ranges or boost others (typically bass).

First off, the correct way of meme-ing would be to switch systemd with OpenRC. The whole idea is that placebotards think systemd is bad.
A quick 2.0 version needs to emerge, a lot of ideas were provided in this thread. I trust you'll be able to deliver.

As an expert memer myself, I'll let you do the honors. Take it as a good way to master the arts.
By the way, for better readability, the meme image needs to have a proper grid and better pictures.
