I took apart this hard drive as a demonstration for a high school history class. The drive had no read errors on the floor of my dusty room, when I was testing file copy (lucky??).

  • ssd are more realible, but only more expensive.

  • @hellraidzor

    I have no idea what that's supposed to mean....

    Are you saying they arn't more reliable? The current ones? yes and no. It matters how and where you are using them.

  • hard discs are the worst type of digital storage, im saying that.

  • @hellraidzor

    I always felt like floppies won that position ;-)

  • SSD DRIVES WILL PROVE TO BE LESS RELIABLE.

    stick to hard drives if you value your data! SSD drives are faster yes but hard drives are more reliable and can have data recovery if it fails. SSD drives cannot. If the hard drive ever goes off the market it will be a sad day.

  • I think SSDs will be much more reliable than current day hard drives. It only gets scary when all the chips are connected in parallel, and losing one chip may mean several bad bits scattered in every block on the disk.

    But overall, they are probably going to be a lot more reliable...and they aren't self destructive! I use drives in raid, and I back up my important data to another set of drives, with a totally independent file system, so I feel like I'll be pretty safe for years to come.
