[16:42] <thafreak> Afternoon Ohio
[17:02] <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.
[17:30] <thafreak> yeah, but most enterprise sata drives can do 4-5 years and they're cheaper
[17:31] <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.
[17:32] <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
[17:57] <thafreak> no reliable means reliable
[17:57] <thafreak> i.e. i put data on it
[17:58] <thafreak> and i can expect to get the exact same data back later
[17:59] <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
[18:00] <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
[18:01] <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
[18:02] <thafreak> i've seen sgi boxes with spinning disks that ran 15-20 years
[18:03] <thafreak> ok maybe more like the 15 years....but still
