A typical drive doesnt last as long as they used to.
Ive still got some old Connor 20MBs, some 8-20Gbs Fujis etc and they all work fine.

Ask me about my stack of dead 250gbs


It seems that if you get a modern drive past the first 12 months chances are itll be a keeper that will just keep going and going. But to get to the decent drives youll have to wade through dozens of RMAs first, or just be very very lucky.

ohhhhhh


know of anyone else already doing it ?  so i can have a read around before I fork out on the drives !

(google isnt giving me much)


Go to their website. Not sure in regard to reviews.


They stopped the flash memory overwriting the same area and it now writes to a new one, deleted files are marked and not overwritten until much later. That makes it more reliable, the problem is writing repeatedly causes degradation, reading doesnt.

hmmmm

I guess a few of them in raid 0 would be ok then....

but to keep them going Id have to have all the stuff I download etc.. go onto a seperate drive... just have programs etc... on the SSD....

the problem is... the programs might run lickity-split... but if all your films etc.. are on a normal drive... theyll still run slow the programs down (and they are prob. 75% of my computer use)

That link I sent you, that drive basically acts like a speed buffer SSD and you wont loose any data when in raid with your other drives.
