These disks are not failed. Yes, they are failing but these are old driver and this is a desktop under raid. Consider that these drive are 5 years old, for me this is not bad ssd brand, there are best brand but corsair is not too bad. Now, Yamaban had suggested samsung because this is the best choice. This does not exclude that there are other products (that can be less reliable and less performant at lower cost) that for my case are good enough. Corsair neutron has also 5 years of warrenty. > Sorry to sound sour, it just amuses me how people keep buying things made > by the same company whose products already failed on them. This is what > creates the problem: keeps companies manufacturing bad hardware exist. > If you are AMD user and your old AMD cpu died, You think that AMD must burn due to a cpu failure? Great. I'm with you in the case where you buy a disk and after 3/6 months it fails (and this can happen also with very good brand) and this is not the case. Backblaze must burn all brand because many disks fails.... Now about bad hardware manufacturing companies it's another problem. These companies point to low cost consumer, due the fact that not anyone can get the best hardware due to money. An example? Corsair LE 480 GB (100$) vs Samsung SSD Serie 850 Pro 512GB (260$). 850 Pro is better, but more expensive, and Corsair LE has 3 year of warrenty. Maybe an user can spend his money for a vga or a better cpu. These bad companies permit some users to get hw for less money without a great expecation for cheapest use case and their ability to pay. Than if these cheap companies must not exist, the user must not use a new technology (at lower cost)? The IT gap. Sorry, my (m.)2 cents.
