I've been using only SSDs since they first arrived and have never had one fail. I even have my dual backups on them.
Danish ISP one.com switched all their servers to SSDs a year or so ago and the web page opening speeding is great. There's no more dinosaur mechanical discs in my computing world.
.
a ssd will die as it can only do so many reads and rights but unlike hdd you wont get any notice b4 it goes bang and just stops working.
What is SSD write cycle? | Definition from TechTarget
This definition explains the meaning of SSD write cycle and outlines the steps that manufacturers have taken to address write cycle problems in solid-state storage devices.
I know but am not bothered. I'm always fully backed up a minimum of three times and no SSD has failed me yet. When one eventually fails I'll simply replace it and restore the content, whether the OS or data.
And I'll still have saved all the time that could have been spent waiting for mechanical discs to deliver.

i dont get it as when cityfibre dug up the roads to fit it they done the main road but not down our street so why does it say i can have fibre to the home?

nVidia's tool does sound cool, and I imagine it'd make some tasks which skilled operators of the Adobe Creative Suite accomplish a lot easier. I like the latter, and it appears they are increasing the AI components. What most people miss about design for print and web, is the importance of allowing elements space.
If an AI observed and progressively copied the states of all your neurons while you live, perhaps something resembling your mind could watch forever? How it will diverge from the telemetry that your organic mind would have taken over time, and how utterly bonkers it becomes in a million years, is anyone's guess.
thats a fibre virgin box that goes outside.
I'm paying £47.50 a month for VM's lowest speed, which is too fast for my needs (before whatever their price increase will be), but if I sign up for 24 months of 1gb, it's only £30 for the first six months... I'd haggle, but I'm off contract at the moment at home, and I'll be moving soon.
i just dont see why it says i can get fibre direct to my house you the cable is not there to use? bar get a virgin 1gb box.
and id shop around first as now every new tax year virgins prices are going up buy cpi+2.9% so it will go up and up every year!!!
plus you have to pay off the contract if you want to leave early
with giganet i can get 900 up and down free for 3 months 12 month contract and 40 quid thats half what i pay now.
its not like a coaxle cable converter to optical is it lol

They're now owned by Liberty Global, who have a history of regularly increasing prices. I really liked Telewest: cheap, fast, good support.
its all gone to shite now as all the big players are doing the same and as cityfibre only went live last year and rent the lines out to 3rd partys and of the shelf routers could just be a **** show anyway but even if i get the price down in 18 months im fkn off.
seems i have been on a rolling 30 day contract for years lol

There are probably routers which can use 20 SIMs, like in the old days - this just uses two for 300mb:

We have VM fibre on our estate. If you order it they'll run it to you from the main road, then bombard all your neighbours with their propaganda to get some of them signed up to cover the cost of running it to your street.i dont get it as when cityfibre dug up the roads to fit it they done the main road but not down our street so why does it say i can have fibre to the home?

so in a nut shell city fibre put connections in only to houses mostly with no virgin cable that was put in 15-20 years ago.
because 50m up the road some house do have it and some dont, there building 2 new houses at the top of the road and those wont have any connections for internet at all pmsl.
i can get 1gb from virgin but it is not fibre and still will have a crap upload speed but virgin does not seem to use the city fibre lines as not a option for direct fibre to the house not that it will go any faster down load anyway.
but my post code says i can have it ? from 12 different providers like giganet ect
i dont want 100mb down load speed i want 1gb that means 10gb or 10.000mbps and buy virgins pricing that will be 500 quid a month.
