Newegg[newegg.com] has 4TB Team Group MP34 M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 x4 w/ NVMe 1.3 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive SSD (TM8FP4004T0C101) on sale for $156.99. Shipping is free.
I run my main storage in RAID 5 and then have it all backed up onto another RAID 5 and off-site. For this kind of drive specifically I would use it for game storage which it would be perfect for.
Nah, that would make it slightly harder for them to swap parts. Then again, no, it wouldn't. Some of these companies will shamelessly lie about the components they use. I know ADATA and Silicon Power have.
If only data storage had built in error correction that prevented corrupt data...
There's corruption on the storage mechanism, and there's corruption due to a software bug in the program writing the data. I've seen both, and the latter is much harder to detect and correct. That's why snapshots are important too.
Team group is not good one , I bought 1 TB Nvme in Nov2022 , stopped working in may 2023 , Opened RMA request on line , they said signature required on faulty SSD on delivery to CA repair center , Onward shipping charge customer has to pay , I asked UPS to deliver that they asked me to pay 20 dollars for one way shipping , Still I dont have confidence on team group , ignored to send this if I pay another 15 dollars on top of shipping charges I can get new one from Amazon with other good Brands , waste of money , lost all my data
The minute 8TB SATA SSDs hit $300 I'm slowly replacing all the 8TB HDDs in my NAS which are aging and I expect will start failing more often within a year or two.

Well if you are going to expand the scope to garbage buggy software, you might as well add in all the human error of accidentally deleting files, saving over them. But this isn't a discussion of the sensibility of a backup system its about the likelihood that the storage device does what it is supposed to do. Which, given the true bit error rates AFTER ECC is a very high liklihood.

Agreed. Noncritical data.
You SHOULD have a backup, but most do not back up — but many do.
That's a great comments it says a lot, but not very much and is an ok comment.

Yeah but were they asking it about a WD enterprise HDD or Teamgroup SSD. Big difference.
