Better that, than the mass quoting.
Another option is just word your reply so it makes sense on its own.

So now the system is running from the sata ssd drive, but the nvme ssd is

So I ask, what's the difference in speed between the nvme ssd plugged into
the pcie and the sata?
I run bonnie++ on the nvme and then:

Well the fact that the failed ssd is working again tells me it wasn't
zapped by static or power transients. The comment about taking a long time
for the ssd to reorganize itself is interesting, but here it failed 1 day,

If it was just erasing the partition table the drive would still be

The 2 crucial bx drives I was losing, I replaced with an older smaller
mx drive and that one has been working just fine for a couple of
months, thinking about my issue and Neal's issue here is what springs
to mind.
So in my case, if mine was a power supply issue, it would have to be
that something
Well I suspected the PS, but the guy I spoke with at Titan said some other
things would fail before the SSD if that was the problem.
The power should be pretty stable, and I did connect to a good transient
suppressor strip. Anyway there was no lightning when it died, which was in
the past 24 hour

I had a recent crucial 2TB SSD issue. The first one failed in under
10 days, I got a replacement and the 2nd one pretty much did the same
thing at about the same time so, I returned it for a refund.
It makes me think that whatever is go
Thanks Richard. Yes, I talked with Titan; they suggested trying the

I have not checked for bios updates. Not sure how to go about that (last

Haven't tried the SSDs in another device because I don't have

After about 1 year it stopped working. I could ssh to it, and almost any
