Thank you! http://techreport.com/review/27909/t...heyre-all-dead The TechReport study is a series of articles, and it's a lot of fun to follow along as the study takes place. A couple of the drives in their study, happened to last a lot longer than their rating. But, using the TechReport study method, by the time you discover which drives are superior, they've been replaced by drives with a worse wear life in the Flash chips. And the TechReport study is not "statistically significant", so is more for appreciation as an enthusiast, than as a proper study. Paul |

Hi All, Anyone know of a trustworthy (not pay for results) study(ies) on SSD drive reliability? Many thanks, -T I've looked into this several times over the years. You'll find as many conclusions as there are authors. Consensus seemed to be that: If you need disk speed (not to be confused with the speed at which you can surf the web), low power and/or shock resistance, you should look into SSD. If you USE your computer, rather than TINKER and brag about how fast it boots, you should buy a drive large enough so you don't actually use more than half of it or so. Run the system tweaks that came with the drive. Back up regularly. It will probably last longer than your ownership of the PC/laptop. If you like to tinker, there are a zillion people to advise you on further system tweaking. I put a SSD in my desktop just because I got it cheap. It seemed to boot faster, but I rarely reboot. I couldn't see ANY significant improvement over the spinner in daily use. If you have low ram, the SSD might significantly improve the speed if you swap to it. Unfortunately, that kills SSD's. It's a very bad tradeoff. Better to get more ram. Bottom line is that my SSD is sitting in it's antistatic bag in the drawer. Maybe I'll trot it out if I ever need a laptop on a regular basis. Sure, you can easily generate scenarios where SSD is very good or very bad. I read that windows could destroy an SSD in a few hours if you really tried. |
