Me too. If I didn't have my desktop set up as a DVR with 5TB of |
| 7 |
recording space, I wouldn't have any spinning drives at all. My |
| 8 |
personal experience so far indicates that SSDs are far more reliable |
| 9 |
and long-lived than spinning HDs. I would guess that about half of my |
| 10 |
spinning HDs fail in under 5 years. But then again, I tend to buy |
| 11 |
pretty cheap models. |
