The ssd firmware plays games to make wear leveling work. Because of that it is very unlikely that 2 blocks written to the same "block" at the fs level are going to be written to the same block on the ssd. Make sure the SSD has some cache memory, I bought (and since returned) a crucial ssd that did not have ram/cache. I killed 2 of the (orig and replacement) in under 2 weeks, before I returned it. I killed them such that they would no longer even answer on the sata bus. However the firmware for these works, they seem to be a lot less reliable. And there are a lot of similar reviews that under some set of conditions these devices are unreliable. Whatever algorithm choices that a few dollars cheaper/no cache ram causes seems to be a problem. I have also been known to carefully and lightly use a pencil eraser on the contacts to clean off anything that could cause it to not have a good contact, and then wipe it with alcohol. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
