All IT hypermart ~ RM180, Jayacom ~RM170, Aoneplus ~ RM230. No prizes for guessing which 1 I am not going to bother visiting again next time.

QUOTE(cherroy @ Jul 18 2012, 04:17 PM) At first, I used to think SSD has no moving part, it should be significant reliable than HDD, and this is many people perception as well, I reckon Very interesting data. but by very roughly looking at the data I already couple of trends such as returns by brand and return rates (they tend to group by +/- 1.5%, +/-2.4% and 3.5%+). But to my disappointment, after reading many complaint about SSD, and search through, SSD also subjected to failure as well despite no moving parts in it. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ssd-re...ate,2923-3.html SSD failure % can be on par with HDD as well. Just HDD being mass use around, that's why we see many complaint about dead HDD. For eg. There are 500 million of HDD in the market, a 1% failure means we see 5 million dead HDD, and complaints around. While there may be only 1 million of SSD, even at failure rate of 2%, we only see 20k dead SSD. 5 million dead HDD vs 20k SSD, the figure look huge difference, but it doesn't say SSD is more reliable or not. But the SSD (again without calculation) they seem to be statistically significant to have lower return rates. Notice how i am saying return rates per what the data says and not failure rates. But honestly I would have no issue taking these figures as "failure rates" as I feel most buyers are well aware of their purchases before hand. Good stuff. |
