SSDs are prohibitively expensive for offline, long term storage of large amounts of data. I only use SSDs for working files, and once I'm done I archive my projects onto multiple less expensive HDDs with RAID for redundancy. That then gets backed up to to the cloud. See my latest video for a full breakdown. ☺️

SSDs are not suitable for long term data storage because they store data as an electric charge and when ssd is kept for a long time without power some of charge may leak out and you may loose your data or data might get unusable. Ssd companies guarantee 1 year data retention without power.

So you mean when we install ssd on our laptop and if we do not open our laptop for a year, data will be lost? And in worst case if I have OS installed in there, that will also get lost?

Don´t worry. I use SSD´s since 2015 and even my oldest intenso 256 GB SSD has all files fully intact. I never had any file loss on any SSD or NVMe, while in the meantime one mechanical drive has bitten the dust. If the data is extremely valuable and important there is still the possibility to recover a dead mechanical drive for a few thousand dollars in some recovery center (I don´t know if this is possible with an SSD) so that is one huge plus for mechanical drives :)

Most of the time when SSDs fail, it's due to bad electronics supporting the nand, and a repair shop can just repair the faulty component, or transplant the NAND chips on an identical board, and boom data back. People get so wrapped up in "Oh QLC SSDs can handle fewer read write cycles" yeah and that amount is still far far more than most will use it for in it's lifetime. For example, the SSD in my main system, the Crucial P3 Plus, has a rated terrabytes written of 220. In the 6 months I've been using it for video editing and as a boot drive, I've only racked up 7.7TB written. Meaning according to the rated spec, it should last 14 years... however realistically I'll need more storage long before 14 years is up, and if it fails before then, more than likely it's not the NAND, it's the controller chip or power circuitry, in which case well it can be recovered just like any old hard drive. In fact, potentially easier. Just pull off the 2 chips and slap em on a donor board. Very easy.

What he meant to say is that SSDs have a limited amount of reads and writes they can perform. After it reaches (around) that limit, the drive becomes a brick and you can't do anything with it anymore except maybe look at it and cry if you didn't have backups of your backups.

Managing your important files is crucial. Some people take this very lightly until they lose their files. Files need to be managed hybrid (offline + cloud).

Spinning drives aren’t exactly known to be reliable either. If you want the best backup you might as well build a NAS with a redundant array of ssds.

what happens if i have ssd and hdd, my system files are in ssd, i removed ssd and turned on the system? im asking this because my old laptop is damaged so i need to take the ssd to my new lap, but also in future if i repair old laptop i need to use it as a secondary lap without inserting the ssd. any thoughts?

Maby you're not aware that ssd drives are used in NAS units today since the price per GB has significantly droped. Also ssd's loke the seagate firecuda 530 have up to 5000 TBW. Meaning that you can write and delete 90% of the drive every single day for 5 years without voiding the warranty.

Long term archiving is better on HDD. If the controller breaks you can get it fixed as the data is magnetic stored on disk. If a controller on an SSD goes you will have no luck trying to get that data back.

@LindonSlaght

That's not true. Data recovery labs can very easily transplant the NAND to a donor board, or replace the controller chip, whatever is needed. In fact I'd argue that in some cases, provided you have the right tools, data recovery is far easier on SSDs.

Now we need a response to what a NAS is

NAS stands for Network Assisted Storage. In this device there are some hard drives connected and that device is connected to your ethernet cable allows you to acces your storage online from anywhere. It's like your personal cloud storage like Google Drive or Microsoft Onedrive.

When shopping around for mine I was shook because I didn't know the level of unreliability these have. There was not 1 single brand (even big name brands) I checked that didn't have hundreds of comments talking about how the drive died out of nowhere, stopped reading after a few months, lost data forever, etc. I know a lot of factors go into this but it's scary not knowing if you'll lose your data any day.

how do you back up these to the NAS. been trying to find a quicker way then wifi. my wifi sucks...

here's what never to do. rely on a nas. mechanical discs break more easily than ssd discs (difficult to corrupt with temperatures, magnets, shocks, water, etc.)

so, clouds is the best storage for our file right now ? better than HDD and SSD?

How do I nove everything from my fast sad to my slower ssd except video games?

What is a NAS?

Check the Backblaze reports on mean time between failure for drives. I'm sure that over the last year or so they now have enough date to prove SSDs are at least as reliable if not more reliable than HDDs

Can you make a video about your first camera setup?? 😅

Can we use this ssd on our android phones?

What cloud storage for this high volume storage?

Hot take! Hot take! A bit misleading. I think the lesson is actually to have a backup copy and not use a single portable drive for long term storage. SSD or otherwise. SSDs are actually better for long-term storage than HDDs because HDDs are more prone to failure. SSD raids are about to become common place as the price comes down.

Do you have a video showing how you manage the projects or may be the procedure u use, from taking photos, to handing over to clients?

Basically he is saying back stuff up or else.

Mac sucks. I shouldn't be forced to rent cloud space from them. Create a document? Download a pic? They scoop it right up. Then one day you're standing there after their advisors messed around and can't get your stuff out of their cloud.

Ok I don't want to get into the childish Mac v PC BS but I'm using a mac as a daily driver and I pay them nothing for cloud storage zero issues. You can't make sweeping statements like that. On the other hand I use a Windows laptop with the people I work with and the biggest issue I have......Onedrive. It is spectacularly bad, slow to sync, sometimes doesn't bother to sync some files at all, often getting conflicting files and it's not just me its 3 people. When I was using Google Drive, Dropbox and icloud no issues.

So what’s the point of having one then lol

Do you have a video on your nas or links to it?

Don't say why or anything! Your NAS isn't a long term solution either. People will disagree but my long term was burning to discs. I have data on discs I burned nearly 20 years ago and it's still perfect. I can't say the same for any flash drive, NAND or hard drive though. NAND has a limited number of read/write so I guess a relatively newish one will keep your data safe for years but they are all prone to some malfunction or other.

Confusing statement "willing to lose"? Why would you be willing to lose any of your files?

“Dont” I said Just “Dont” period

You need to power on the SSD drive you're using at least a couple times a year, so the drive doesn't get data corruption.

Wait what??? I paid $153 for that drive!!! I'm gonna go complain immediately if not for long term storage. Jesus christ! I need help to either fix for long term or what.

What NAS do you use?

I’ve heard of those Sandisk SSDs failing for many people. A Samsung T7 shield should last much longer

Since I'm not rich to get me a Full NES, and I hate cloud, and the slowest speed of an hard drive... I switched all my backups to an E SSD. It's been 4 years, and I lost 4 hard drives.. my SSD is still going.

Solid State Drives store information using energy. Energy can dissipate. Hard Drives store information with magnetic charges. Doesn’t dissipate unless subjected to another magnet.

😂Why those drives look like phone pouches

Are there any casualties of this "Hypothesis"?......

This is not a new issue. Most of designers always working with ssd but always hiding their videos with an 2tb wd my passport. SSD always have a short lifetime. But wd can live more than 10 years.

I don't understand the negative comments! I thought it was common knowledge that ssd aren't good for achieving or backup without power, Hdds are more reliable in that regard.

he didnt explain why, also only applies to older ssds really

I mean any data storage that is long-term is at risk if it is single. You're NAS is only as safe as one of the drives and it's raid configuration. If you're working professionally you should definitely back it up in multiple places. So it doesn't really matter what your render or work drive is to be honest

I read somewhere that if an SSD dies, the data is lost forever. Which is not the case for HDDs.

Backblaze

SSD is so much safer than Hard Discs, its just that it is more expencive. Price is the only downside of SSD.

And this is how you know this guy is ignorant about these subjects and that's why you shouldn't follow him

Isn't NAS comprises of HDD?.. No use of putting then in the NAS.

16tb drives are like $200. Don't get anything below x16 seagate drives. Get WD if you can afford it.

Why not though? SSDs are more trust worthy than SD Cards. My sd cards fail all the time.

U didn’t explain WHY it’s a bad idea to store something in SSD for long term.

What cloud service?

I have an HDD that’s 15 years old just with photos on it that’s still kicking. I’m going to buy an SSD however just to transfer everything over for longevity purposes. Because I know the HDD will eventually fail.

I would rather use these than an hdd because they are way more frigid r so you can’t really move them around and they always end up breaking within a few years for me

Review your NAS

Imagine sifting through 500gigs of data on the workspace 😂

First step: have a NAS😂😂

“ and then back up to Cloud “ seriously?

What was wrong with the DVD, not making enough money. Last longer then the crap being sold now. I'd even like the floppy back.

So in short never have one point of failure and make backups in various ways.

Yeah... Uh....SSDs are a much better storage medium than hdds. But then again you're a Mac guy so you pay 10x the price for the same hardware. I see why you'd not use ssds for cold storage.

Just remember to check up on it every 2 years. check its contents and scan for errors every two years. Its fine. my Toshiba 8gb usb flashdrive I bought way back in 2009 is still working. I have used this as storage, then as an Installer of Windows 7, and now Its currently full of ... totally legally procured audiobooks. ... but yeh, I dunno about these NEW storage devices. only time will tell. I wish i could say that you might be wrong, but i have seen too many new stuff break within only 5 years. Sandisk is usually high quality. Update us after your ssds actually dies and tell us its lifespan.

What duh fuuchk is a NAS? Im using 128 gig usb as my storage i have 3 of them.
