SSD death โ ๏ธ๐
I am busy rebuilding the data from an SSD which died all of a sudden from one moment to the next without giving any warnings in any manner in any way.
I always monitor SMART output of SSD drives & mechanical spinners (HDD)
I've not seen any smart output indicating imminante dead
This drive has acted like your girlfriend when she's just not in a good mood and without explanation says nothing to you in the morning, for hours.
This hard crash, means that the S.M.A.R.T. monitoring hardware didn't have proper Communications with the integrated circuits on the SSD.
The drive was always powered many times a month, never left without power for more than a week or so, thus that has not been a contributing factor to the SSD catastrophic failure
The drive itself is fairly small.
The data on this dead SSD I've backed up on remote drives connected in JBOD format to machines which I have running remotely.
No ZFS on my backup machines
- I want to run ZFS native
- that means running a BSD OS on those machines
- that also means I will need to backup / restore all data on those drives meaning
- I will need 200% of the used HDD / SSD space on those machines
- I need patience for that backup
- I need expensive extra HDD's for that project
- I won't pay USD 300 for a USD 120 HDD
NO ZFS under these global SSD / HDD market prices
