Recently, a flagship SSD had a life accident. After someone bought a 990Pro with a capacity of 2TB, their health declined sharply within a few days. The intelligent monitoring information shows that it has dropped by 99%, and then it has dropped to 98% and 95% all the way until 94%.
You know, in the past, the flagship SSD980 and complaints were surprisingly high, because the failure rate was amazing, and they were both 2TB versions, mainly based on the "0E" value in S.M.A.R.T, even many times (the number of times that the master detected unrecovered data integrity errors).
Previously, Samsung customer service said that the decline in health is normal and can be guaranteed. As a result, the user received the repaired 990Pro hard disk and found that it was only formatted, and the health was still only 94%. But it's solved now.
The role of solid-state hard disk
Faster reading and writing speed: SSD uses flash memory chips to store data, which is much faster than HDD and can greatly improve the running speed of the computer.
Lower power consumption: SSD does not need mechanical movement, so it consumes less power and can extend the battery life of mobile devices such as laptops.
Higher reliability: SSD has no mechanical parts and is not easy to be damaged, so it is more excellent in service life and data reliability.
Smaller and lighter: SSD uses flash memory chips to store data, and there are no large mechanical parts, so it is smaller and lighter.
