How long will an ssd last?

Question

laptops

Habrausers, including those who have an SSD, tell me, please, does it make sense to take a similar copy , given that Sphinx indexing is actively used on the laptop for work tasks?
How long will the disk live with active use (for example, there is a swap)?

Answer 1

Having carefully read everything, I came to the decision to try all the same first with a 7200 HDD. At the moment, the cost of a low-profile 512GB one is 2000 rubles. This is not such a lot of money, especially since in the absence of a satisfactory result, it can always be used for backup.
ps
The purchase itself was caused by the acquisition of the asus ux32vd i7 laptop, the performance of which at the moment does not quite suit me (alas, this is so).
Perhaps I’ll briefly unsubscribe on Habré about the experience of using it (or ask in a personal, if urgent).

Answer 2

From one day to a year.
Until the year I still have not one lived up to.
It makes no sense to hope for a long life of ssd, make backups, most ssds have a three-year warranty, change them and restore from backup.

Answer 3

My intel is almost 2 years old. I didn’t carry out any special manipulations (i.e. I didn’t specifically turn off anything so that he lived longer)

Answer 4

If you are talking about SSD degradation, then with TRIM support and enough free space, it will live for a long time (it is unlikely that you will be able to completely overwrite 200 gigabytes of data thousands of times in the near foreseeable future). For 2 years of active and almost continuous operation, nothing has degraded. As for the reliability of this particular model, I can’t say.

Answer 5

I make backups and try not to think about it.

Answer 6

If we get lucky.
My SSD lived for five days and died, I changed it to exactly the same one and it has been alive for more than a year and a half.
Make backups: it breaks - changed the piece of iron (if you die early, then under warranty) and that's it.

Answer 7

I have had kingston not the first freshness v64plus for more than a year, despite the fact that this is a home 2008r2 + tfs / iis / visual studio + gimp for a girl.
did not transfer anything except torrents. SSD is promised to live until 2016 ...

Answer 8

OCZ Vertex (1) - 2 years of work almost 24x7 on an
Intel X25-V home machine - 1 year and 9 months of work 24x7 on a home server under linux (trim is disabled, swap is enabled, logs are written)
OCZ Vertex 2 - a year and a half of work in a laptop 24x7 (sleeps half the time)
OCZ Vertex Plus - half a year of work 24x7 on a home server under linux (trim is disabled, swap is enabled, logs are being written)
I haven't seen a single dead disk in 2 years since I switched to SSD.
ps everyone is actively writing about backups, as if it only concerns SSDs - HDDs also fly to the right and left, so you should always backup if the data is important, so that it would not be excruciatingly painful later.

Answer 9

On the desktop, there is a 60 gig OCZ for almost a year. The desktop works almost 24x7 under linux. Trim - enabled.
During this time, no complaints.
I bought an ssd for comfortable work, and not for the OS to start faster, so I did not make any recommendations such as transferring home or var to hdd. But just in case, I make daily backups to hdd and periodically to the cloud (there are never many backups).
It seems to me that if ssds fell as often as they write about it, then they would hardly be given a guarantee of 3 years.
