Hey gais, pretty much the title. So far I was buying HDDs every few years always having a backup, had some drives fail tho. Today I was visiting a local data centre and they are using these cool but expensive high TBW enterprise TLC SSDs, (Samsung, Micron, Kioxia).
I know shiz about data preservation, if I buy one of those, do you think they are going to last longer without failing? If I lets say give them a power up once a while?
But it’s probably still way cheaper to just swap bad sector HDDs.
Your first though, to buy an SSD may head into problems if they are unpowered for a long time in your shelf. They need power to keep the data
