Comment on Cheap, but reliable SSDs?
MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 6 months agoIf I just happen to get the bad module that craps out after 6 months, the positive reviews are not that helpful.
That’s what RAID(5) is for, if a drive craps out you just shrug and get a new one (or warranty), no data loss. Easy enough to cobble together with a PCIe card and 4ish smaller drives, faster too…

Well, except when a second drive dies 36 hours later and suddenly you are panicking…

Yep, as can happen easily if you buy in a batch. Just like ransom (related, no?), non-sequential serial numbers please.
