Rappel : les SSD *PERDENT* des données s'ils ne sont pas régulièrement branchés.
Sur les SSD grand pubic, branchez-les au moins une fois par an.
Sur les SSD "pro", branchez-les au moins tous les 6 mois.

Corollaire : Sur ces supports il peut être intéressant d'utiliser des systèmes de fichiers qui checksumment toutes les données et méta données afin de détecter les corruptions, comme btrfs.

Tom's Hardware · Unpowered SSD endurance investigation finds severe data loss and performance issuesBy Mark Tyson

Recientemente me preguntaba si habria alguna herramienta sencilla para diagnosticar el grado de desgaste del #SSD interno de mi #MacbookPro.

Me encontré con puras buenas noticias al usar DriveDx (binaryfruit.com/drivedx). A 8 meses de uso, solo reporta un 3%. La version de prueba (15 dias) da reportes muy completos.

Creo que vale tenerla a la mano, especialmente si uno anda comprando un equipo reciente, de segunda mano.

Save yourself the data loss and downtime that is associated with unexpected SSD and HDD failures. Don't worry about losing your important data, music, and photographs.

I have a large pile of old laptop 2.5" HDD drives (NOT SSD) in varying GB sizes. I think I might do something mad with them and build a 20 drive (or more) RAID NAS.

The only thing I need really, is 20 port (or more) SATA PCI-E card... Does such a thing exist?

Oh look, another #YouTube video pondering the mind-boggling mystery of how long an #SSD can hold your cat videos when it's off 🔌🙄. Spoiler alert: it's still not forever. But hey, if you're looking to kill some time, why not test new YouTube features instead? 📺✨

Continued thread

One thing I'm conscious of is the SSD on this Toughpad.

It's a 128GB mSATA device made by Toshiba (THNSNF12). It's probably seen a few drive writes by now.

Now, back in the day OCZ were early pioneers of SSDs… and I had a work colleague that swore by them at first. He had one in a fire-engine red Dell laptop and loved the speed the thing gave him … until the day it failed (within the warranty period).

Pulled the SSD out, put the HDD back in, RMAed the SSD. A replacement came, he put it in, ran with that for a number of months, then it too, failed. After the third RMAed drive, "sworn by" became "sworn at".

Toshiba bought OCZ in 2016, so I'm a bit leery about this SSD.

That said, mSATA is not a common form factor now, so I guess I'll have to take what I can get. The contenders seem to be Kingston, Advantech, Transcend, ADATA, or some brand I've never heard of.

Kingston RAM runs some of my servers, and I've used their SD cards before. That said, I recall an experiment from 2011 that tested a number of 60GB SSDs to destruction (SSD Endurance Test) and I seem to recall Kingston being one of the early failures … but search engines being what they are today, I can't seem to dig that old site up.

We'll see how this one goes… as I say beggars can't be choosers, and this is a rare form-factor now.
