I was talking about bit rot in the context of RAID arrays, and it happens when the scrubbing algorithms verifies parity data, encounters errors in between the two, and "fixes" the issue by writing corrupted data. It's like saying your data "rots".

So if we are talking about bit rot in arrays, we are talking about protected data, we are talking about not having an issue when an SSD dies, because the data is still there in the form of partial data and parity data, it survives, but you have to go through a process to recover it.

Your argument about SSDs dying is blown out of proportion, I have seen hundreds of HDDs die and not a single SSD, yes the failure tends to be more catastrophic in SSDs, but seriously, even if your HDD dies, are you going to pay thousands of dollars for a data recovery service? It's more likely you will never see your SSD die than needing recovery service.

It's a whole lot better to have an SSD suddenly die in an array than to have an HDD spinning forever but slowly dying with bad sectors (that's how the bit rot occurs). Besides, my argument still stands, SSDs are virtually immune to bit rot, they do not have mechanical sectors that go bad, they only lose information if they are left unpowered for long periods of time and that's only corner cases on newer and crappier quality QLC drives.

See, I got 3 downvotes on that other post that I deleted because people just "read" something somewhere but have no interest in actually understanding it, they read info they are not interested and downvote, Slickdeals used to be a place of sharing and learning, now it's just a hub for trolls and haters. WTF happened to Slickdeals?

I want the info. Sorry that a few bad apples ruin the bunch. Appreciate the share, even though I missed it. :-)
