![]() Solid state drives are faster, more durable, more reliable, quiet, and create very minimal heat. The good news that the benefits outweigh the higher costs. This probably rightfully sounds like an overkill, but you have to weight how much your data is worth to you. But there is a catch, they are more expensive than traditional hard drives. Last point is basically disaster protection – so that your data is safe in case of fire, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes and so on. For example a power surge killing all the hard drives in an NAS – but your disconnected external HDD copy is still fine. Second point aims to protect you against mass failure affecting given storage type. So instead of relying on single part not failing you should use reasonable backup scheme, like the ever-so-popular 3-2-1:įirst point ensures that you are protected against only moderately unlikely problem with both original and copy – and so that if one copy fails you still have peace of mind as your data is still backed up. If you want specifics – then SSD probably has higher risk of complete irrecoverable failure, while HDDs often can be restored at considerable expense. What is actually important is that both can fail irrecoverably and without prior signals. In consumer world precise statistics, failure modes and recovery chances aren’t really crucial parameters. ![]()
