| jrgifford | thafreak: 10 years reliable? nah. you're looking at say, 4-5 years average with a SSD. | 17:02 |
| jrgifford | maybe. depends on who you buy. | 17:02 |
| thafreak | yeah, but most enterprise sata drives can do 4-5 years and they're cheaper | 17:30 |
| thafreak | it's just odd that the whole "no moving parts" notion should make them more reliable...but they're not at all | 17:31 |
| dzho | again, it depends on what "reliable" means. | 17:31 |
| dzho | if it means "shock-resistant" than maybe they are | 17:32 |
| dzho | then* | 17:32 |
| dzho | if it means "ready when I want it from cold boot" then ditto | 17:32 |
| thafreak | no reliable means reliable | 17:57 |
| thafreak | i.e. i put data on it | 17:57 |
| thafreak | and i can expect to get the exact same data back later | 17:58 |
| jrgifford | define "later". | 17:59 |
| thafreak | some time that's after | 17:59 |
| thafreak | when i put the data on there | 17:59 |
| jrgifford | how long? | 17:59 |
| thafreak | preferably for ever | 17:59 |
| jrgifford | can't expect it to last 10 years, you might not even have a cable that can connect to it by then. you're being somewhat vague. :P | 18:00 |
| thafreak | well, that's my problem not keeping the cable to the drive | 18:01 |
| thafreak | how about as long as i have the hardware that can use it | 18:01 |
| thafreak | i've seen sgi boxes with spinning disks that ran 15-20 years | 18:02 |
| thafreak | ok maybe more like the 15 years....but still | 18:03 |
