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 then. :D. Admitted, not on their large storage cluster. Which have SAS disks in RAID.
We are specifically talking about disks to use in backups are we not?
Yeah, we are. Just for fun, my backup strategy:
- Boot from a USB3 Live image - Mount filesystem to be backupped - Backup to 4TB spinning disk - Unmount - Next. This way I'm 100% sure nothing is using the stuff to be backed up. Forgot: the USB3 Live image is on a m2 64GB SSD in a casing from China. Total cost ~$25 ( incl. SSD )
