The Exos are cheap, enterprise Toshibas and Ultrastars are more expensive.

But HDD failure is such RNG that literally any like someone said, or the ''quitest'' haha or better say not as loud.

 

Hey gais, pretty much the title. So far I was buying HDDs every few years always having a backup, had some drives fail tho. Today I was visiting a local data centre and they are using these cool but expensive high TBW enterprise TLC SSDs, (Samsung, Micron, Kioxia).

I know shiz about data preservation, if I buy one of those, do you think they are going to last longer without failing? If I lets say give them a power up once a while?

But it's probably still way cheaper to just swap bad sector HDDs.

Hello people. I was thinking about moving my movie collection to a SATA SSDs as my 10TB Toshiba drives are loud as shit and slow, however cheap.

Is this even worth it? I was looking up Samsung 870 8TB QVOs and apparently they are meh for the price, but yeah dead quiet and faster.

Two questions. Are filled 7200 drives still fast enough to play 4K BD rips? I get some random Kodi crashes or stutters but that might not be the drive itself. Second is it even worth it storing huge amount of data on SATA SSDs? Do they go bad if not used?

Thanks I am noob in this field
