I had an external SSD with all my steam games and some art projects die a few days ago too. Is it just me, or are SSDs stupidly fragile/prone to failure?

I will save her. I just need her physical address

>>83227603
Correction is needed.

>>83227603
Isn’t she literally a rock? Can’t she just inject her silicon and repair the computer chip? Is she stupid?

>>83227603
idk give her a harddrive? its just her computer bro she'll live

>>83227603
Has she tried blowing on it?

>>83228373
>blowing on it
it being my cock oughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh biboooo sexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

>>83228318
What do you mean inject? She's not a changeling.

>>83228005
Not just you. I hate those.

>>83228005
Planned obsolescence.

>>83227603
This is why backups are important, especially if you use a computer for a living

SSDs have a longer lifespan than HDDs by design.

>>83228005
They are more prone to complete loss, keep backups on externams or a hdd those are safer for long term

>>83228005
good read on SSD vs HDD storage mtbf : https://www.enterprisestorageforum.com/hardware/mean-time-between-failure-ssd-vs-hdd/
>A simple summary is that flash drives experience significantly lower replacement rates than hard drives. However, flash drives experience significantly higher rates of uncorrectable errors than hard drives. This can mean the potential loss of data, so steps should be taken to ensure no loss of data.

basically, hard drives fail more commonly from age but also fail gradually an in a way that can be predicted and detected ahead of time.
SSDs fail less often but when they do you just wake up one day and they've completely shit the bed and all your data is gone.

>>83227603
SSDs fail if you leave your computer off for a long period of time and the SSD loses the electrical charge that helps save your data.

>>83228005
Some SSDs may corrupt your data in cases of a sudden reboot, and also have a writing limit, while HDs don't have a writing limit, although being slower and more fragile to handle. I have seen some really bad SSDs that won't last, and some SSDs that last a good amount of time and are reliable, there's a constant discussion for that out here.

In Biboo's case, it seems she still may be able to recover her data given her situation, though only a diagnosis tool scan can find out. Hoping for the best.

>>83228005
External ones in my experience are extra frail

>>83227603
can streamers start making backups please.

Why the fuck even have an SSD? They sound fucking awful.

Someone tell the rock about Western digital black Nvmes

I was forced to buy a 1tb one from best buy a few years ago when my wd blue hdd fucked itself somehow, and they just had no hdds in the store, I picked that thing up, and Ive had it since like...2016 and it still fucking works.

I used to think ssds weren't reliable as hdds, but this thing is not showing any sign of wear or tear after like 8 years of use.

You just cant cheap out on them and get the 3 dollar chink off brand ones in like 128mbs of size as a boot disk or some shit like people used to do, those bitches will explode after a week.

>>83227603
Thank you Shu

Just backup important stuff and replace the ssd 5 years.

>>83227603
I've built my own PC, my 3 year SSD nvme works and a friend gave me his used SSD and it still works after 5 years

This is why you don't buy prebuilts. They cheap out on SSDs, RAM, coolers, PSUs, etc. Always build your own.

Any reputable brand works. My P5 Plus:

Someone at cover needs to explain to her how to bolt from an usb and rescue all the data

>professional content creator
>>>>>no backups
I thought holos are rich guys why cant they afford a 50 buck backup drive?

>>83229908
They literally get physically used up until they break

>>83230629
just ordered an external SSD for the first time. how frail are we talking?

Don't worry the YT algorithm has this covered

>>83234256
I bought a prebuilt. 4 years old and still works as good as it did brand new. This myth that they cheap out on parts is just that; a myth. Just buy from a reputable place. Some parts are just bad from the get-go and it happens. Happened with a friend of mine who built his own PC; both the SSD and the 3070 Ti just didn't work at all so he had to buy a new SSD right away and then play with integrated graphics until he could afford a new graphics card. Building your own isn't always that great either.
The only reason to not buy a prebuilt is if you want specific parts that prebuilts don't offer, that's it. And you can always upgrade later.

Remember to buy ssd that have physical dram, they have a better track record at not having horrible data loss due to using said ram as cache. No, ssd that use part of the ssd as cache arent as good for this.

>>83235530
Prebuilts are shit

>>83228005
I’ve been using mine for about 7-8 years and haven’t had issues, I spent a lot on a high quality one at the time though.

>>83228005
SSDs few years ago and now are completely different. 400 tbw write limit on 1tb drives used to be normal today the minimum is 1200 and some have 2000+.

>>83232952
They're insanely fast compared to an HDD. Literally orders of magnitude faster. An SSD can read/write in two seconds what would take an HDD several minutes.
The ideal is to use both; your OS, programs, games, files you're actively working with, etc. all on an SSD, and all your data stored on an HDD. Just make sure to regularly back up anything important and you're good.

People should just be paying for something like Backblaze. It's not even very expensive if you earn any money whatsoever from your computer, and your get continuous backup in realtime without having to manage it yourself, test your backups periodically to make sure they work, or risk losing your backup drive because you've kept it in the same place as your computer and they both got fucked at the same time. The fact these people probably have thousands of dollars of commissioned stuff stored on their PC without any backups is insane to me, but I guess most people just don't know any better.

>>83238649
These are women
They are tech illiterate

>>83228008
That could go wrong

>>83228005
They are

Im not a streamer and even i have a backup drive. Its cute when Biboo acts dumb but i wish she would drop the act at least for stuff like this, thats way too much RP.

I should invest in a NAS, I might be cooked if my SSD dies.
