Hey gais, pretty much the title. So far I was buying HDDs every few years always having a backup, had some drives fail tho. Today I was visiting a local data centre and they are using these cool but expensive high TBW enterprise TLC SSDs, (Samsung, Micron, Kioxia).
I know shiz about data preservation, if I buy one of those, do you think they are going to last longer without failing? If I lets say give them a power up once a while?
But it’s probably still way cheaper to just swap bad sector HDDs.
SSD is not archival storage. The NAND needs Power or it will lose its charge over time. Maybe not in one to 2 Years but maybe in 5-10.
If its active yes hdds are still cheaper unless you need less then 10tb
