Hello All,
Any one here have real world experience with
reliability of Solid State Drives.
I have been using SSDs in several systems. I have a travel
laptop that has a small one, Ubuntu 14.04, I think. It gets
relatively light use.
My main desktop has a 120 GB SSD that was initialized in
Dec. 2016 and has gotten quite a bit of use,
web browsing, email, electronic design, tax programs, and on
and on. I have a spinning hard drive there for backup every
couple days.
One thing to do, especially on older systems is to set the
file system to noatime, and maybe a few other things. This
prevents a directory write EVERY TIME you open a file.
Older systems didn't know to do this automatically when they
detected an SSD, and it would chew up the disk lifetime with
writes.
Newer systems, I think, do know to set this for SSDs. The
SSD in my desktop is a Micron brand unit.
I think you really DO want to stay with well-known brands.
Jon
