These older 10-year-old drives typically use SLC/MLC technology, offering significantly longer endurance compared to the current TLC/QLC options. Whoever claimed otherwise was mistaken.
I still have SSDs from 2008 working because durability depends on how many write cycles the NAND can handle. In reality, if you've only ever stored a few hundred gigabytes, the drive is fine no matter how old it gets. That's why I opt for 15K drives—lasting about two decades—compared to cheaper $8 SSDs that only last a couple of days, especially for server boot purposes. A well-made SSD is definitely the best choice for reliable performance.
the op didn't mention anything about the server at all... nor about ssd or hdd... i didn't say hdd was better for a server, i just said an ssd works fine after 10 years and the os runs smoothly. that's all i had to say. the so-called ware using it as an os is pretty limited, that's the main point. ram has a lifetime warranty too.
I understand, I was mainly relying on SSDs to evaluate RAM durability.
Yes it is. Anything used is fine, as long as it's in good condition. Hell, when you wake up tomorrow morning, EVERYTHING in your house is used Still good, ain't it? Used has so much negativity on it, really unwarranted. Way too many variables involved to blanket statement it.
It's not a myth, and the reason people might feel pressured to upgrade their SSD too early is if they don<|pad|>'s write endurance isn't clear to them.
