Oh, yeah. And we've never seen failing HDDs? Come on.
Fewer. All disks die, but apparently, SSD tend to do so suddenly. Guess some of my customers prefer a risky life :D. They spend lots of money to replace spinning disks by SSD, but they must be wrong

We are specifically talking about disks to use in backups are we not?
Yes. I would not use this on a daily basic--perhaps monthly--perhaps. I know this would be somewhat risky, but I'm too lazy to copy the system on a daily basis. Perhaps I should get two drives, a large one and a small one, and find some kind of software that would update the small one just with new files on a daily basis. Is there such? I don't consider myself competent to write a bash program to do that. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
