🙂 thanks, Joe
I also use SSDs now in my notebook. But, in my NAS and my server I still have HDDs assembled to RAID clusters.
Up to now, I didn’t lost any data by a head-crash or any other kind of defect. Most of the time I put the HDD away because they became too small. I started with a size of 20MB – yup, mega byte – long, long time ago. 🙂
oh – ok 🙂
NAS = network attached storage
SSD = solid state disk (a form of hard-disks in modern computers)
HDD = hard-disk drive (an older kind of hard-disk with movable parts in it)
RAID = redundant array of independant disks (an array of disks combined to serve as 1 logical disk to prevent dataloss because of a failing single disk by distributing all data over all disks in the array – usually used in servers and NAS boxes)

Thanks, Jane. These terms are so common for me for decades. So, sometimes I forget they might be like Klingon-language for outsiders
