For something that I had to import from Germany because the RGB version wasn't being sold in the states at the time and was supposedly supposed to die within <2 years because the RGB made it run too hot, it lasted 5 years and 72 TBs written before a random power outage took it down. Even then, it was still able to allow me to dd it to another drive without issue

RIP :(

Well, now we know to never buy RGB SSDs.

Well, to its credit, it has been running 24/7/near-365 for the past 5 years on a consumer grade value-ish part. SMART told me I had done about 41k hours with just 34 power cycles.

Sooo, it's good in my book LMAO

My condolences. Are you going to bury it or recycle?

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 44 points 1 month ago (2 children)

As is tradition, it's going to float around my office for an undetermined amount of years lol

You might as well frame it and put it on a wall instead of it taking space on a usable surface XD

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's not a bad idea since it has RGB on it, though I'll need a good way to deliver 3.3v to it while in-frame lmao

Car battery inside the wall :P
