May 5, 20214 yr Very well written article. I remember when SSDs first started hitting the market trying to wrap my head around how they worked. They were just so much different than a typical spinning disk HDD that it was like voodoo to me. I'll be honest for the first few years I stayed away from them out of fear and would not recommend them to anyone who asked. Now I cant imagine not having one. In my last gaming rig I had a SSD as my C: but relied on the tried and true HDD for game installs, MP3 storage, etc. simply because IF something happened and I had files I really needed on there and the drive crapped out you could send it off and have it recovered by a data recovery firm. Now I just have an external drive, Spinning disk Hahaha, that I back everything up to just in case. I have never had a drive go out on me but have had clients that the drive toasted on them so yeah. Better safe than sorry. Backup wise I am very impressed with Barracuda and for corporate clients its my go to. You have both a local copy and a cloud copy that gets synced every night with full deduplication and unlimited cloud storage which is nice. Here at the shop I have the file server set to do Shadow Copies( Previous Versions), Local Barracuda, and Barracuda Cloud. I ain't losing data unless they go and delete a file they just made changes to. In that case you just cant fix stupid.
