By that logic, nothing is reliable…? Because you could say that about literally anything
Comment on Cheap, but reliable SSDs?

You mean “cheap or reliable”. And even with the better brands it’s always the question not if but when a device will fail.

That’s in fact the point I was making, in this case about SSDs. Low prices don’t help with reliability as producers use the worse part of a production run for the cheaper brands (friend of mine works for a European based manufacturer of silicon chips, and he can tell stories about the finicky processes around that tiny stuff and how they try to make the most of it).

Honestly, that is the typical self-righteous stackoverflow response that is helping no one.
You know exactly what I mean, you know exactly how to treat the question, but you chose to play captain obvious of the second arrogance division and posted this.
Of course devices will fail at some point, what are you even trying to add here?

It’s exactly those kind of responses that makes me scared to ask questions when I need help in the Linux community…
It adds absolutely nothing to anything

Don’t be scared. Just don’t fall for posts which try to get the impossible. It’s not that difficult.

I commented on the title of your post - nobody with some knowledge in that field (as you claim to have) would phrase that question that way.
Be offended, I can’t change that - but pointing out the obvious may help others to not make the mistake of hoping that there’s cheap good.
There isn’t.

Oh, I’m terribly sorry that I didn’t use the exact wording that the semantic overlord required for his incantations.
Let’s recap, you only read the title, which by definition does not contain all the information, you wrote an extremely arrogant and absolutely not helpful comment, if challenged you answer with even more arrogance, and your only defense is nitpicky semantics, which even if taken at face value, do not change the value of your comment at all.
You are not helping anyone. No, not even others.

Your reading comprehension is a bit off - I didn’t write that I only read the title, I wrote that I commented on the title.
The rest of your rant is up to you.
