And I'll tell you right now, even SSDs fail
Maybe they do. but, for what it`s worth, with 11 machines. with both lap tops, and towers, all SSD`s , and three different brand/sizes, including three different makes, and OS`s(7, 8.1, and currently installed 10/w current updates, that I rotate through this lap top, I can say, have had zero SSD failures, because I`m posting on this on site, and whatever SSD/OS SSD in operation runs 24/7, until I swap them internally around 6 months, or so !!
Not saying, it(SSD failure) doesn`t happen, just, hasn`t happened to me, other than a lap tops inherent "UPS" capability, because of it internal battery, "assuming" that it is in good shape, and can carry on, until my whole house generator transfer`s over in a minute, or so, I guess a power blip/dropout could eat a SSD..
Just saying, I guess I`ve been lucky, for my SSD use 6 years, or all my electrical feeds are super well protected from SSD damaging surges/spikes, which are SS killers, SSD drives, or otherwise..
No dog of mine is in this "conference" !!
Just some home based SSD experience, noise from me, FWIW, -. $ .02, I`m sure ..
Carry on gentlemen, using what you believe works for you..
