My rig shat the bed when the SSD bricked and as a result I lost a shit ton of important personal data.
Been using a cheapo laptop until now that I have the money for a new setup. I've decided to stick with mechanical drives as their failure isn't nearly as abrupt or permanent unless someone can convince me otherwise.
Anyone who refers to their computer as a rig needs to fucking shoot themselves

what ssd was it, anon?
>>53492154
Do you imagine if you just used your SSD for the OS and installed programs as /g/ did tell you and not for storage, and now you would still keep your data
>>53492154
Betting Kingston or OCZ ssd
>>53492154
so how exactly did you break your SSD to hard that it didn't go read-only, but instead completely broke? Power surge? Dropped it? Drilled a hole in it?
>>53492154
>and as a result I lost a shit ton of important personal data.
The problem isn't the SSD, the problem is you're a retard who doesn't back up said important data. If your HDD dies on you abruptly (which no matter what you say, they absolutely can do that) you're back to the same issue before.
Let this be a lesson to you. Make backups you fucktard, regardless of your primary storage medium.

You dun goof'd.

The real lesson here is that you should back up important data. You know what happens if my hard drive dies right now? Like if someone smashes it with a hammer? I don't lose any data.

What if they're psycho and smash your NAS/backup drives too?

this
spinning rust is still good for bulk data storage
>>53494168
so they simultaneously break into two separate locations?
>>53494217
Yes, they're an organised gang of psycho's...
isnt this the biggest reason people use ssd's solely for replaceable stuff like games? dont put personal stuff on an ssd next time, and use an ssd as well as an hdd?
>read about SSDs
>OCZ has cheap ones but boy do they fail
>get 60GB crucial SSD, not fastest but little to no reported dead drives
>years pass
>want to upgrade moms laptop with a SSD
>holy crackers, everything fails so quickly
what went wrong? where's my 10+yr lifespan, I keep seeing 8-9mo lifespans on newegg.
>bought her a single platter HDD and a USB flash drive to backup to instead
OP is an idiot for at least two reasons.
First, you whole computer doesn't "shit the bed" if the ssd dies, you replace the drive and it's good again.
Second, you're just thinking of building another computer and not considering the actually important part: the backups you didn't make before.

>IT WAS THE HARDWARE'S FAULT!
>Bought a cheapo SSD without looking at reliability figures
It'll happen again, I guarantee it
>i bought a cheap shit SSD and it failed so SSDs are less reliable and I'm going back to HDDs!
>>53492154
>he kept all the important stuff on his SSD
huge mistake mein negro
always be prepared for SSD for shit out unexpectedly and expect the same from drives as well
>no backups
You had it coming.
i switch to an ssd because my HDD bricked.
less moving parts and all.
nowadays you should be able to easily back up your important data in several locations.
i put my important stuff in a folder and copy it to each hard drive. update whenever i change it.
you can also use dropbox. if it's sensitive you can encrypt it or just use multiple local drives.
Yep, that's how SSDs work.
The memes about them having limited writes was a false flag, the real problem with SSDs is that they die randomly without warning regardless as to how much their memory was written to.

>not having backups

I haven't heard any bad reviews on their newest Trion 150, but holy hell I wouldn't touch the trion 100 with a thousand foot pole. Even now, I'd wait a few months to see of it has some terrifyingly bad firmware bug or some shit, this coming from a guy who bought a 960gb trion 150 for well under 200 burgers.

Then the least of his problems is the lost data
