those are defects. anything can have a defect.

Whisky-dave
Well done. Just because it has no moving parts doesn/.t mean it won;t go wrong or you don't need to back up.

i didn't say it won't ever fail.

i said ssd is more reliable, and it is.

do you not understand the difference?

nospam
try dropping a hard drive and ssd and see which ones still have data.

Whisky-dave
They will both have data the data doesn;t change as a device falls. Well unless it''s an acceleormeter

the hard drive will have failed due to impact. the ssd won't care.

nospam
put both under water and see which ones will still have data.

Whisky-dave
They'll both have data.

not that's in any usable form.

it's like dropping a glass vase and a rubber ball on to concrete. one of them will not be usable afterwards.

nospam
however, hard drives are going to fail quite a bit sooner than ssd. it's basic physics.

Whisky-dave
yes they will but that doesn;t make them unrealible.

hard drives are more unreliable than ssd. simple as that.

I've just brought a couple of new drives, I know HDDs will fail and so will SSDs.

hard drives will fail sooner.

nospam
however, they are far more reliable. period.

Whisky-dave
What do you mean by reliable. ?

if you don't know the meaning of reliable, how is it you're arguing about it?

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/01/30/are-ssds-reliable/

you've heard the hype and belived the hype.

that's nothing more than one person's whining.

It's more relible to print oput your data, it will last much longer on paper than it will on ANY SSD currently made, of HDD for that matter.

nonsense.

one match and it's history.

No you don't need backups until the original fails or disapears for whatever reason.

nospam
at which point it will be too late to make a backup.

Whisky-dave
which is when recovery is the only option. Which means that lost data can be recovered it is then not classed as lost.

recovery is a last ditch effort and generally will not work, especially on a modern operating system. in many cases, the data will be overwritten long before you even realize it's even gone.
