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

It's ADATA, it never stood a chance.

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

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 46 points 2 months ago

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 10 points 2 months ago

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
