said William Morder via tde-users: | Neither of these SSDs are recognized by my machine, using either | connector. (Don't know what they are properly called, but there is a | picture in that links that Felix sent: My experience has been that SSDs ain't soup yet. I have a WD 500gb SA500 that worked for about two weeks before dying. This spring, I got a 1-tb NVMe M.2 SSDs for a Raspberry Pi 5 machine. The first one was in the process of a write when there was a power glitch so slight that it didn't even make the clocks blink. But it killed the drive stone dead. Crucial replaced it, and I have UPSed the Raspberry to a farethewell. If you poke around you'll find that such stories are common. In both cases the failure's symptom was that it simply disappeared. Which is to say that in my experience the damned things are too delicate for use other than in a big raid, where they can be yanked and tossed when they fail. They might be food for something, maybe fast buffering or something, but until they can be made more robust they're a lot less safe than mechanical hard drives, imho. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/ ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
