Hello All,
Any one here have real world experience with reliability of Solid
State Drives.
I have not had much luck with them my self and am wondering is this
normal or am I the exception to the rule as if you believe the
advertising they should last almost for ever.
First Experience around 2011 I bought 2 OCZ SSDs in Austria from 2
different retailers and ran them in 2 different laptops used for office
work travel, a little software development and running industrial
automation service software. Both of these failed with in 6 months with
no prior warning just one day not recognized on boot and that was it.
This was using Ubuntu 8.04 i think
Last year I tried again and bought an AFATA SU650 Ultimate in Canada.
This I got a little over a year ago and it failed yesterday I had some
warning it would boot work for about 5 minutes then turn read only and
my operating system would lock up. I got about 10 restarts like this
before it failed to the point where it is detected by the bios but it is
not mountable or read able. This was using Linux Mint 19 and 20.
For comparison an old western digital or Toshiba mechanical drive
usually last 4 plus years as long as not subjected to excessive shock
and for the most part make noise before failing completely giving you
some warning.
I am running a used Samsung SSD now as a replacement in my current
laptop. There are obvious performance advantages but with these
reliability issues I still don't want to put them in production linuxcnc
machines or anything critical.
Any one else have similar experience or recommendations for a reliable
solid state drive.
thanks Linden
