How to estimate an SSD’s working life
Even though I don't use any external drives, I occasionally flirt with the idea of buying an SSD to collect music.<p>But every time I get a little bit paranoid about the idea of "what if it suddenly dies and I loose everything?" and then I start thinking about backuos, at which point I'm like "nah scree this".<p>Are there any recommendations for particular manufacturers to look for? (Seagate, Samsung, Toshiba etc)<p>Also, how much is the average lifetime of a consumer-grade SSD these days? I always think they'll die in 5 years, but that's totally out of my head and not from experience.
