With SSD storage, what what your thoughts on redundant storage devices (e.g RAID1), is it a waste, a nice to have or a must?

what are your experiences and thoughts on this ?

Appreciate your opinion, as I will probably move from HDD to SSD.

    That’s interesting because Kingston’s usually have a reputation that proceeds them. I currently have some cheap Chinese knock-off SSD that I’ve put through hell and it keeps plugging away.

      Yeah the one I had after it died, I cracked it open.

      Was a super cheap PCB that had like 1 or 2 nand packages.

      The overall construction of it just felt… cheap, even though at the time it was a higher rated model.

        That’s the entire problem with those knock-offs: almost no quality control. So it can be very hit or miss. Bottom line is that if you care about your data, you’ll back it up! 😉
