said William Morder via tde-users: | Ever since my own bad experience with a brand-new, never-used SSD that I | put in my brand-new, never-used laptop (hoping to bypass pre-installed | Microsoft crap, etc.), I have avoided them. My own setup now is almost | back to stone tools; that's how I dealt with it. I had one previous experience, with a cheap SSD and pooped out after a couple of months and produced no performance improvement as far as I could tell. But this one is high-end and guaranteed for five years. And I do not think that this situation involves a drive issue.Having two drives, one a mechanical and one an SSD both fail at the same time and the same place and wipe the data from that point forward -- all while reporting no errors -- suggests that it wasn't the drive. Fortunately, there was nothing on the machine that I didn't have on a different machine elsewhere, except for the configuration files for the applications, which though annoying and time-consuming can be replaced. Fortunately, I see that Matrix OS is back among it, and in that I hope to write about it soon it's an opportunity to wipe the whole ThinkPad and reinstall with Matrix. To which I'll happily add Enlightenment, for fun. I wrote about it yesterday (and TDE as well) here: https://ofb.biz/safari/article/1344.html Thanks very much. It'll all get sorted out. I posted here hoping that someone would say, "Oh, yeah, that sometimes happens. All you need to do is . . ." -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/ ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
