Gotta love SSD
-
Today was archiving day, zipping up all the old projects and libraries hardly ever used. ended up with about 14G of zipped (actually .tar.gz seeing as now on linuks) and the corresponding unachived folders removed. OK, better do backups: internal manual full system shadow drive: 25 seconds external drive (also full file system) X 2: about 45 seconds each (including plug/unplug) once upon a time I thought burning to DVD was fast (would have been a few disks for that) once upon a time I thought external hard disks were really fast (on winduze) I love my SSD's and USB 3.1 [running on an o/s that knows what it's doing], anything else is just a joke.

I wish I could afford TB-sized SSDs...

A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you've got, including your freedom.-Ezra Taft Benson You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone.

Tell that to my colleague whose 6 month old laptop has just suffered severe bit rot in its SSD. When I asked if he had a backup he put his head in his hands...
We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

Over the last 30+ years, I've had a few HDDs fail on me, as well. One lasted less than six months. SSDs may be proof against mechanical problems, but that doesn't mean that they are totally reliable; no technology developed by humans is. Anyone who doesn't keep multiple copies of important data is asking (begging) for trouble. (Full disclosure: I work for Western Digital, which makes both types of disk)
