There cannot exist a less interesting meme than the loss meme.

    IDK if this is still the case fo SSDs, but I remember being stoked AF the first time I heard of consumer ones because I knew the number 1 cause of data loss on a HDD was the physical parts that move deteriorating from movement, so a drive that didn't have moving parts could last forever! But then I found out about the limited read/writes they had and was disappointed. Nevermind it likely wouldn't hit the limit with my kind of usage; it wasn't forever and that bummed me out.

    You probably should have a couple, at least as external drives. They're quite good for reliability. I think the only thing that's better is a mag tape reel setup.

    I thought we moved to SSDs because they were more reliable?

    Incorrect, we moved to SSDs because they're faster.

    In reality, SSDs have a finite amount of times you can write to any bit, so they in fact have a fixed lifespan, and naturally have their health decline over time. Voltage stored on SSDs also naturally fades over time, meaning that SSDs can only store your data on them, unpowered, for a finite amount of time.

    The write lifespan of most SSDs is between thousands and hundreds of thousands of write cycles, so they still last years of runtime. However, the memory retention while unpowered is only about a year at 30C and only months at 40C.

    In contrast, hard disks have no explicit write limit, and magnetic writes don't dissipate while unpowered at any significant rate, so hard disks are still superior for keeping records and documents you want to last decades.

    The amount of people not getting the "joke" is kinda worrisome

    I'm just going to start blocking anybody who posts this meme. It's not funny, it's not interesting.
