    I have multiple back ups of important stuff, so even if a drive died it wouldn’t be a big issue. But, what brand SSDs gave you troubles? Would like to know so I can stay away from those ones.

      Yeah, i also have backups of my files… but every single time such a failure occured was when i under no circumstances needed a downtime like that (important project to finish, holidays where all shops are closed…) and i simply developed some superstition regarding SSDs.

      It also wasn’t brand specific, i had it happen with Sandisk and Verbatim so far.

        Yeah that is pretty unusual. I haven’t had a single ssd failure even still using the first one I ever got in addition to others I put in old laptops so I wouldn’t be stuck on slow hdd.
