Pure: No more hard drives will be sold after 2028
One thing that HDDs seem to have and SSDs seem to lack is that they fail _reliably_. Some SMART values get higher, warning, then error. Sometimes directly in error. Tick tick tick tick. But you often can still recover some data.<p>SSDs on the other hand: from one day to the next they are dead, don&#x27;t do NVME or SATA handshakes anymore, and you&#x27;re done.<p>I wonder if SSD firmware still needs to mature to the point of still allowing some connectivity and data recovery.
