Serious SSD OR HDD?

[LordElrond]

Why would an ordinary mortal need such a robust backup? I have been using 256GB thumbdrive and its more than enough to rotate across 2 or 3 of them.

haha...i using a samsung evo and it comes with a samsung magician software,

That's like the PAP's "ownself check ownself". I'm not surprised it did not report a problem.

I use DVDs for permanent data storage

With the amount of data today and 2T drives becoming the norm you're going to need a lot of DVDs and they aren't 100% reliable either.

you have an answer for everything, i have nothing more to say. see nowadays, ssds price drop so much almost on par with hdd, i know their days are almost over. invest in optane is a wiser move, just imagine your system running on 1TB of memory.

Price finally dropped to a more reasonable level so I decided to get 2 pcs of 1T Samsung T5 drives got them for 5,990 baht or $263 each, I think it used to be like $500-600 for this capacity.

Using 1 for backup and the other to store data. Will continue to use the older HDD for another backup.

Notice the photo below, its smaller than credit card (drive sitting on a credit card)

Playing with it over yesterday really like it. The backup disk to back up my Macbook Pro using Apple's Time Machine. Really like its portability and fast transfer rate.

I want to share a fucked up experience. I tried to be smart and bought a wireless HD backup device which was supposed to connect to my Apple or Andriod devices. The technology was shit and the connection always got interrupted so the file transfer was a frustrating experience.

Thank you for sharing I saw this device too but was afraid to get it as I prefer using a cable for now.

Interesting video explaining different types of SSD, what is in a SSD, how SSDs are gauged for life expectancy, how to maximize and care for your drive to make it last longer etc

No i did not have the Time Capsule instead I use what's already provided in the Macbook software or app you may call it Time Machine

 

[Leckmichamarsch]

I've converted to SSD for ALL my drives and never looked back.

Once black nvr look back...enjoy ur bbc

To have this type of idiotic question in 2019 is amazing.

Maybe I will start a thread

Pager vs Mobile Phone

time machine app on my macbook asks me to select drive, and i sync it with the time capsule.
