I'm thinking about buying an SSD but I need some questions answered if anyone ITT can.

1. Do they still brick if they suddenly lose power? Bad weather time here and I often leave my machine on and go away, last thing I want is an outage to turn my ssd in to a shitty paper weight.

2. Write count, I download about 1GiB a day of videos to watch in the evening. How will this impact life of the drive? Should I buy an external spinnin cube for media?

It's bad because the controller randomly shits itself when you so much as sneeze at it, not because of NAND endurance. They don't make their own NAND, anon. It's mostly all the same shit inside SSDs.

>ssdlife doesn't work with my sandisk ssd

>>52404035
Nice shit-tier SSD, pedo

>>52403826
Mine didn't brick when it lost power suddenly when I did a hard reset something did fuck up. I couldn't load windows. I figured that windows just became corrupted and tried to use another computer to salvage the data. The ssd is still detected by windows but trying to access it by file explorer causes it to hang and and eventually get an invalid path error. Disk management detected my drive as raw format instead of NTFS. I managed to salvage the data using a pirated version of easeus data recovery wizard but the stupid program froze for 4 hours before the drive popped up. The only reason I got my data back was because I had to leave so I didn't touch the program. Or else I would have just closed it after a few min. Google is saying its either the file system being corrupted (forgive my ignorance but I have no idea what that means) or the controller failed.

In short, don't put anything but programs on your SSD. I was an idiot and stored a bunch of school related files and scientific papers I paid for on my SSD. I believe HDDs do not have the same issues with sudden power loss that SDDs have.

>>52403913
I haven't been exactly kind to it.

>>52404054

http://techreport.com/review/27909/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-theyre-all-dead
These people have actively gone out of their way to write as much as possible as fast as possible to these drives. They lasted way longer than their advertised lives, you'd have to be using an INSANE amount of data to kill an SSD through writes.

>>52404108
Because it doesn't work with SSDLife, obviously

>>52403992
v300 isn't a meme because they were dying, it's because they cheaped out without telling anyone after the reviews of the better performing original were up.

>>52403979
I know but the sandforce controllers that haven't shit themselves already in the first months of use won't fail as easy.

>>52404123
I'd say that's only a minor flaw considering what ssdlife is

>>52404054
That could just as well have happened with a HDD. Return rates show that SSDs are more reliable than HDDs.

That being said, you should always, ALWAYS have a backup of your stuff. If not your entire drive then certainly work or school related stuff and personal stuff you can't recreate.

>Both of these drives also comes with RAIN and basic power loss protection too

>>52404191
Nope. I think Intel drives do, some of the Crucial drives do, and all of the enterprise-level drives do.

>>52404054
This is what I'm worried about happening and it's getting me paranoid, I don't have anything special that I could lose but it's more the inconvenience of it suddenly being dead and having to wait to hopefully get it replaced or pay out for anew one.

>>52404089
How good is the protection? I've read Crucial use HW protection and Sumsung SW protection. I was planning on getting an m.2 crucial 250G.
There are lots of reports still but none of these fucks mention their drives or anything so it's hard to work out what they're using, how old it is and what kind of protection (if any) it has.

And does that warranty also cover data loss?
If an SSD fails on me I don't think I'm going to keep using the same model

>>52404302
If the SSD fails, I'll just RMA it and request my money back, since it doesn't work

>>52404246
I'm not even sure if my drive is "dead". I'm still in the process of recovering the data. I've read that SSDs that fuck up from power loss may also be caused from firmware corruption and the fix is to just flash your SSD.

>>52404302
I'm not sure about sandisk specifically, but it seems most don't cover data loss since data recovery quotes start at about 500$ and can go upwards to 1000$ for a single non raid SSD.

There's no problem. You are using them correctly as bootup drives and work drives.
The problem is the idiots who say SSDs are a replacement for HDDs, and vice versa, which is basically mixing apples and oranges.
SSDs are good as engines but shit as storage, while HDDs are good as storage but too fucking slow as engines. SSDs will never outdo HDDs in terms of long-term storage because of the way they store data, while HDDs will never outdo SSDs in speed because of the physical and thermodynamic limitations of how they read/write data.

There are exceptions though, as the way SSDs cycle data in combo with the limited cycle quantity, burns the fuck out of an SSD when it comes to shit like webscraping and RSS feeds.
Never have an RSS feed/Webscraping program run via SSD, or you are courting a loss of money.

>>52406219

This; it depends which HDDs you're coming from.
840 Evo didn't really feel much faster than my 2x600gb Velociraptor raid 0. It certainly wasn't worth the ridiculous cost per GB (it was a new drive, so the 840 slowdown bug would not yet have happened).
I'm sure the SSD would be far better than some outdated WD green, but no one should be running programs from those anyway.
