My 850 has been working fine since I bought it. It'll probably last for years. You should't've bought a chinkshit like sandisk, OP.

Solid state disk drives

>>58229611
How old were they?

>>58229611
what the fuck were you doing
SSD failure is heavily dependent on what, exactly, you were stressing your pieces of shit on

>>58229762
Sandisk is acceptable, but the SSD Plus one is shit as fuck.
But is expected from a cheap TLC SSD.
Even ADATA SP550 is way more reliable.

Sadly Sandisk is not a option anymore when better alternatives exist.
Also WD fucked up releasing SSDs, they released overpriced ones not worth their price.

Here's your problem. Only get Intel or Samsung if you need reliability.

>>58229611
I had a very old 32/64 GB SSDs. They both died and couldn't take any data anymore (wouldnt start any OS and would freeze the OS if I loaded it as data drive)

Those are one of the first/second gen SSDs tho.

>>58229899
Intel ssd's have a shocking failure rate probably worse than Sanchink

>>58229611
I've had a Sandisk SSD just die on me too, they replaced it quickly though. One of the first OCZ Vertex 2 drives also simply fucked up at one point and lost all data on it, but after that it still seems to work. I've thrown it into an old laptop which I use as a HTPC, has actually worked fine for years now.

>>58229899
Intel SSDs are known to bricking themselves to read only mode.

>>58229611
Running Adata here, 3 years and going strong.
No idea how you can run an SSD to death so quickly.

>>58229956
Regardless of the manufacturer they shouldn't fail within hours of each other?

>>58229969
What was the time frame for the replacement?

A little on the rare side but drives tend to go at once. I've seen this happen for a raid configuration within the same week period, because 3-4 years ago is when the drives were purchased and they were purchased at the same time.

>>58230013
it would be a shame if samsung does something similar to their printer cartridges

>>58230002
Sorry I didnt mean to imply they died within hours. rather I had two separate instances. Both of them acted similarly when they died, so I thought I'd combine it into one unified summary.

If you got the 840 series, it will start sector errors around 100 TB and complete failure around 1PB.

Who knows, constant rewrites on disk. Maybe he went crazy with defragging?

>>58230002
>What was the time frame for the replacement?
I really don't remember since it was a while ago, but I remember they were pretty quick and responsive, especially since the drive was bought by somebody else in the US and I sent it back from Europe. I think it was something like 1-2 weeks.

yeah the first SSD i ever bought just randomly stopped working this month. idk when i bought it, maybe 3 years ago but this shit never happened to me with HDDs

sucks ass, it was a 120gb SSD but still. What gives? that is not okay

Had a Kingston and mushkin die, first one was from 2007 and went read only, other was sandforce+TLC so it was doomed to brick after a year

It's like some devices are bad out of the box. It's like we have warranties for a reason. It's impossible for a HDD, or any other electronic device for that matter, to come broken or to break shortly after it was purchased. Literally only SSDs suffer from this problem. Literally.

>>58229815
get out.

These are my SSDs, the AMD is about 1 year old. the ADATA maybe 3-4 months. OS is on the ADATA gaymes on the AMD. How fucked am i in the future?

yeah back when 30gb was a big ssd, they were bad and lost data all the time

i haven't encountered that in years with modern ssds though

>>58229964
3** perhaps, but surely not 5**

Bought an MX500 a year ago, Amazon sent me two.

One used in my PC, other in the laptop - laptop was sold to a work colleague.

Both still going strong, good performance no errors at all.

Just stop buying a shitty brand.

Own 2, one Samsung 850 evo, the other is a Micron server SSD I got for free. It has ran for about 12k hours if I recall correctly. No problem with either of them whatsoever.

my adata sp550 480 gb has been a workhorse for a year. got it a year ago for $109 on newegg, they're more than that now due to the market bullshit.

my intel 520 120gb is still the hardest working ssd in my machine and has been through a few other computers and a laptop. was pretty expensive when i bought it.

no failures yet knock on wood. got a pny 240 in my work pc as well.

>>58230239
>defragging an SSD

bang for the buck =/= quality

>>58229868
If you get the G25 versions of the 120GB and 240GB SSD Plus, then you'll get the MLC version.

I had one eat shit a few weeks ago.
I let a coworker install an SSD intoone of our computers. Turns out the SSD we already have in there is M2, so we need to bust out a power supply cable to get that shit plugged in.
So he does, and we turn it on. Shitgoes on fire the next second.He pulls it out and burns his hand in the process.
Fortunately the computer still works--surprising how sturdy motherboards can be.

I had an inkling he pulled out the wrong power supply cable, and turns out I was right.

Tried to get the SSD going with the correct PSU cable this time, doesn'tget detected by the OS. I expected this, since obviously a short that causes a fire is serious business. There are no burn marks or obvious hints ofdamage on the SSD when I cracked it open. I assume some of the chips arefried. Oh well?

Kid's got a long way to go.

>>58229611
my crucial m4 lasted for 4 years of heavy use and then just kicked the bucket one day. Didn't show up in the bios.

My two cents here is that the quality of your powersupply can never be understated, especially for SSDs

Do you have a backup?
1. Yes
=> Restore it.
2. No
=> Your data was not important, apparently.

>>58231800
I have felt this way since 2003 and anot Nforce 2 problem all of their modules seemed to have

>>58229985
A better outcome than it not appearing to begin with, at least you have an opportunity to copy your pirated floppies instead of having to cough up bux to DriveSavers/WeRecoverData/similar if you weren't already backing up.

>>58233165
Bad goy. We're all human.

I think I just had the ssd die in my laptop.

Got a bsod, when I tried to boot it would bsod again.
Do these sound like symptoms of a dead ssd/controller
>Can't even boot in safe mode
Booted the Win10 recovery environment
>Can't recover/reset
>Can't do sfc scan
>DISM scan says 0 windows installations
>Trying to rebuild MBR fails (failed RPC call)
>Diskpart shows the disk but can't format/shrink partitions
>Drive doesn't show when I try to install new Win10 from usb (also tried to load drivers for the drive - pretty sure they were the right drivers but it still wouldn't show)

At a loss for what to do. Don't care about the data since it's all backed up but the device is currently unusable. Fortunately it's still under warranty, so if it is the SSD I won't be too fucked.

>>58231000
Should have bought SU800 instead SP550 for the 3D NAND.

>>58229611
why would you ever get an ssd in the first place? They cost more but are 10x more likely to fuck up.

in the market for one of these

is there any company to AVOID?

>>58234470
don't go with sandisk. sandisk makes great shit aside from ssds. make sure it's an actual ssd and not an EMMC ssd, aka quite literally a big, slow sd card.

>>58234470
Avoid Sandisk budget tiers(SSD Plus), Avoid Kingston, PNY and other noname brands.

ADATA, Samsung (3D NAND series) and Intel are reliable.
Crucial too.

>>58229611
Only SSD I ever had fail on me was a PNY, but that was out of the box, never actually used it. Was funny too because the fuckin guy at the store was like "PNY IS AWESOME" And I was like "Nah" but I bought it any ways.

He was eating shit when I went back to return it.

I own:

SM951 256gb
850 Pro 512gb
850 EVO 250 x3 (2 are mSATA)
SM941 32 x 3"

Kingston SV200 120gb
Kingston SV300 120gb

OCZ Trion 100 120
OCZ Trion 150 256gb
OCZ Arc 100 120gb

Micron m550 64gb x3

None have failed, 80% of them get regular use, the 850 Pro has over 10TB written, all have between 5,000 and 15,000 hours of use

Just bought BX200, how fucked am I?

>>58235355

Thoughts on ADATA SSDs?

I want to get a mSATA for my thinkpad. If they're too shitty I'll just wait to get more money.

>>58235713
Adata is the 3rd largest DRAM manufacturer in the world based in Taiwan, they make mostly memory related things. Not the fastest SSD on the block, but an all rounder.

>>58235713
Decent, SP550 has a flaw that can be overlooked (if SLC cache fills speeds drop to HDD tier speeds but you need to write to it nonstop for it to happen).

SU800 doesn't have this problem and has 3DNAND which have a 200TBW for 240GB and 400TBW for the 480GB version.
But im not sure SU800 has a mSATA version.

>>58235713
They're decent really. They're the Corolla of ssds. Gets the job done without any flair or excitement, but good for the money

>>58229611
Muh Kingston 128gb SSDNow is still alive after 1 year. Very curious to see when it dies tho.

I have a Kingston HyperX ssd still going strong after like, 4 years.

Sadly though my Seagate 2tb hdd with all my Steam games died today after about the same time, so I need to replace it.
Anyone know if the newer Seagates have improved? I wanted to get an HGST drive, but the prices have shot up for them and stock is low at most places

my Maxtor is like 10 years old, shame they were bought by some shitty HDD company.

Still going strong after 3 years.

Welcome to early TLC SSDs.

i seen an ADATA 256gb shit the bed. Was in a prebuilt microcenter gaming pc tha a client bought for autocad workstation use

another client uses older samsung 120gb ssd paired with 320gb HDD in JBOD config as one volume. shitty idea lose SSD speed benefit and fuck up drives left and right due to trim not working.

my 840 pro once gave me a scare on boot. but that was due to my cpu fan failing

How much ram 4GB?

>>58236777

But yeah 4gb of ram. Dualbooting Debian and Win7.

>>58236794
If it has SATA3 then go for a 850 EVO or a cheap SU800.
SSDs are worth it specially in laptops.

>>58229969
>One of the first OCZ Vertex 2 drives also simply fucked up at one point and lost all data on it, but after that it still seems to work.

Same here. At the time I thought Mac OS fucked up when the OCZ utility reported that the SSD was fine. Restored from Time Machine, and about a year later moved it to a Windows notebook (MBP got a Samsung). Thing still runs file.

>>58236472
You can run a defrag program. (At least an old version. Newer versions tend to detect SSD and stop you from doing something stupid.)

It will not actually defrag the drive. Drive wear algorithms introduce a layer of indirection so there's no way for the OS or an application to actually write adjacent blocks.

My friend recommended me his exact model of SSD, so I bought it (that was about two years and a few months ago) and next thing I discover that it is not even hitting 200 mb on write. Turns out those kingston faggots changed the memory chips, so mine are slow like shit.
While it still gave me some significant speed improvement (fast OS boot, fast BF4 loading), it sucks a bit

Citation please. Been running a MX200 for six months without issues.

>>58229611
nah, most of my problems have been because I failed to maintain enough space on my tiny SSD. Only 64GB has my OS and I've ran out of space quite a few times.

>>58229611
I have a Samsung one. The only noticeable difference between it and my HDDs is the price. SSDs are a stupid meme. It's all placebo effect unless you absolutely need no moving parts an a silent computer. I have fans in all of my machines, so there's no noise difference either. Save your money and get just get a premium HDD for about half the price.

In some SQL testing I beat the shit out of a set of 8 OCZ Talos 2 960GB SSD's. It was great. Beat them so bad that all you got when they powered up was a slight hum and SAS disconnect notices.

Best part was sending them back to OCZ and getting free replacements. About every 3 months.

Sometimes it's nice working in the IT department of a fortune 100 company.

Otherwise, the rest of my SSD's have been solid.

>>58229611
OP, have you considered that the drives aren't actually dead and you do not have the education currently to figure out why they are not behaving as intended?

I have a 275GB MX300 and a 1TB 850 EVO I cannibalized from my laptop which has some Toshiba 128GB M.2 and have had no problems with any of them so far (have had Toshiba since April, EVO since October, and MX for 3 days).

>>58229611
My SSD crashed two weeks ago; had an Evo 840. Now I have a crucial mx300. Crucial have been shown to have significantly better endurance compared to Samsung. Performance is slightly worse.

>>58238488

In work I had an Intel fail on me, I can't quite remember the model (530 series?) but it would occasionally throw up SMART errors on boot despite every test I threw at it coming back fine.

Warrantied the fucker but it took ages dealing with Intel who wanted logs and all sorts, eventually just sent a bunch of pictures showing how fucked it was on boot.

If they're the same brand and model and you bought them at the same time, yes it can because same batch.

Two Sandisk SSD's in a row failed on my friends system. So it does happen.

Is San disk plus ssd really that bad? Gonna build a budget pc, and don't want to spend about 100 on ssd but still want to try the speed of em.

Got my first and only SSD during the Amazon Prime Day sale back in 2015 for like £210, don't regret the purchase since.
The timing was quite lucky, considering my Hard Drive was beginning to randomly screech in my ear.

17 months later, I've only written 7.4TB onto this beautiful drive and it's rated for 150TB of written data.
Quite happy I took the deal when I had the chance.

Molex to Sata
Lose all your data

Plextor M5S 128GB been in use for over 3 years as my OS drive. Had several unsafe shutdowns but so far so good.
850 evo in my laptop which is doing great and I just got a 525GB Crucial MX300 because it was dirt cheap. Only just decent performance but for the price I'm alright with that.

I'll probably look into an nvme ssd when I build a new pc next year.

If you're using an older thinkpad the mSata slot is only SATA2 speed

It's literally a generic chink product with an intel logo

Don't start this thread

I've got a 120gb OCZ trion as my C: drive on my PC (with a 3tb E drive) and it's been great. I've only used like 60% of the space on it. When my build was new it took 28 seconds to boot, now a year and a half later it takes 31 seconds.

If it fails it'll be a bitch, but all my actuall data is on my hdd.

O-oh shit

Is this why I got BSOD twice when I thought it would be a good idea to defrag my C drive which is an SSD?

Im sitting here just staring at the husks of my old hdds right now. I hate /g/ so much sometimes.

I've had no problems with my 480W psu which came with my case. Some shitty Logitech case.

>>58229611
Yes, here's my story

The end

spooky, isn't it?

>>58250111
That's some tough luck, Anon. I've been solely using my SSD since the middle of 2015 and not even the smallest of issues have occurred.
What models were the SSDs?

>being this stupid

What's the absolute best ~500gb ssd in terms of reliability/endurance? I was looking at something like a Crucial MX300 because i hear samsungs slow down after awhile

>>58250384
Wait for the ADATA SU900 then. It'll feature 3D MLC.

At least I got double dubs

>>58250410
the official 'hype' page for that product is pretty cringey, condescending, and full of graphs that mean nothing. Are you sure it's worth the wait?

The fuck was that shit?

>>58250610
I wouldn't wait myself.

About the MX300: it's not even that fast in the first place. Get whichever is cheaper between the two.

>>58250759
Well, like I said, I just wanted the most reliable/enduring drive, desu sequential speed is quite irrelevant to me

I fell for the meme and bought a 840 Evo 1TB two years ago, how do I tell if its fucked or not?

I've been getting system lockups at idle for the best part of a year that I couldn't be bothered to fix, and Windows constantly wants to do disk checking over the last few weeks. Are these signs this piece of shit might be on its way out?

When I first bought it it was making a whining noise, I emailed them about it and they said they'd replace it but I said so long as it works I don't really give a shit. Thinking maybe I can take advantage of this to get an upgrade now.

>>58252628
Turns out I already RMA'd it the week I got it and forgot I did it, new one still whines though.

>>58251549
SATA M2 SSDs make no point since you lose a SATA port anyway.

PCIe based M2 arent exactly worth their price but they are good.

>I have just had 2 bite the dust within days of each other and it can't be a coincedence surely?

Like Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds

Check your PSU voltages.
