Started getting SMART errors on my 10 year old server SSD last night (love those middle of the night emails).
By the time I woke up this morning the disk had at least partly failed.
So this morning I'm going to try and clone the drive and see if I can get it booting. Hopefully I can recover some stuff. Otherwise it's reinstall time.
Ironically this week I was planning to get full-disk backups going on that very drive.
Seit Monaten gehen laufend SanDisk-SSDs kaputt. Bei den Datenrettern von Attingo gehen jede Woche kaputte Festplatten ein. Sie haben jetzt analysiert, wo das Problem liegen könnte und die Ursache gefunden. (Foto Credit: Attingo)
SSD-Ausfälle: Western Digital verspielt alles Vertrauen
Externe SSDs der WD-Tochter Sandisk fallen häufig aus und verärgern Kunden. Der Hersteller sagt nichts – und zerstört so seinen guten Ruf, meint Mark Mantel.
"Apple faces scrutiny from European environmental and consumer groups over its claims that its latest devices are “carbon neutral,” a term that Brussels proposes to ban in corporate marketing because it is “misleading.”"
You’re interested in tech and you want a nice home (or just any home) and stability? Go work at Google, Facebook, or some other surveillance capitalist.
What’s that? You want to work on free and open source? Sure, go work at IBM or Oracle… Oh… you don’t mean enterprise software? Tech to protect human rights/democracy? Not for profit hippie-dippie crap for the common good?
Oh, then suffer.
I mean, is it any surprise things are as they are?
There is neither incentive nor penatly for being [un-]sustainable..
That's why Apple is selling their devices with #ReducedLifecycle by design with soldered-down #RAM, #SSDs and #Batteries, and both of the latter WILL INEVITABLY FAIL OVER TIME AND USE!!!
