Comment on SSD only NAS/media server?
atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 10 months agoBackblaze and other “bulk storage providers” tend to release reports every-now-and-then about the lifetime of their drives (it’s important for them to understand the costs). Here’s one such Backblaze Report.
At this point we can reasonably claim that SSDs are more reliable than HDDs, at least when used as boot drives in our environment.

Holy shit. Well, I stand corrected, those graphs speak for themselves. Bookmarked for future stats.

Yeah there are a lot of ways to cut the data. Average age of failure doesn’t mean more things fail, just that if they do fail they’re likely to be around that age.
In general the reliability seems to be “close enough” between the two that it won’t matter for a home user who doesn’t have 10,000 storage units running in a server room. 😀
