I saw a good offer for a used ssd, and I wonder if the SMART data can be spoofed.

    Oh, sry, thought it was sufficiently answered by others. I am sure it can be reset. Just not sure how easy that is. I vaguely remember seeing such software at HDD oracle.

    Figuring out spoofed data might not be so easy though (I doubt happy-happy-joy-joy-software like Samsung magician can). Perhaps doing one complete write can show some deficiencies (my experience is that it suffers with higher TBW).

    PS: Sry for slightly off topic but what kind of SSD are you talking about? Some bad ass data center or just regular gamer WORM?

      4tb samsung evo, I changed my mind.

      I will wait until I have enough for a new ssd.

      I am really shocked that there is no tech youtuber, forum, or news website that talked about an incident where scammer spoofed the tbw.

      Thanks for the reply

        Yes, quite sad (but perhaps it’s just a common enough thing yet). Those “tech news” people are consistently jerks and hype any news speeds (PCIe 3/4/5) over TBW and reliability.

        Pardon me for being so blunt but marketing whores would be the correct term ;)

          I also just found out that I can’t backup android phones, it is so easy with iphones.

          That saddens me

                Can you drop me a link regarding backup for iphones?

                To be honest, I usually regard iphones (and apple in general) only with utter contempt for their lack of everything (had to work with apple for some years). But since you said “so easy with iphones”, that really piques my interest.

                Pretty please^^ Pleeeze <3

                  Sure, just google iTunes for windows and install it.

                  After that connect the iphone to your pc and it will show up in itunes and then press backup, I suggest using password protected backup because that will backup everything ( it will explain that when you do your first backup)

                  Also, if you wil backup to external drive, there is a trick, just google that.

                  Itunes backup is amazing. I restored backups several times and it is like EVERYTHING as it was. Just restored as if nothing had happened. It is a life saver

                  And about apple and Google, they are both as bad.

                  On Android which should be open, you can’t access all app data folder when connected to pc, thus its impossible for any pc suite to backup your device unless you root your device which I am not smart enough to know what security risks that brings.

                  I thought that data folder for apps wil show up on pc, but after copying the data folder I had 8gb only while in reality it is occupying more than 90 gb. So even as someone who is somewhat techy I just feel like I should buy a phone with more storage and it pisses me that more and more android phones don’t have micro sd card.

                  Oh, and to copy your data from android, you have to deal with mtp or media transfer protocol which all android devices uses and after going ina rabbit hole I found out that it is an old deprecated protocol filled with bugs and issues. And that why there is no third party backup software because mtp don’t give you proper access for full control file management.

                  So Android sucks as much as iPhone.

                  I use both android and Iphone and I like iphone more. Like right now, my Samsung phone storage is almost full and when I check what is consuming all that storage it shows app as 50 something gb and OTHER as 60 something gb. It was confusing to navigate and when you try to get google something it is hard to find something related to Samsung particularly and your model ( i assume but I am not sure it seems the ui for high end samsung phones is different than lower end)

                  But with iphone it is just ios version.

                  And it is easy to find which app is consuming more storage.

                  And I also like that I can give access to selected photos but on android it is all or nothing.

                  Google must make an ITunes alternative, I get that they want google Cloud backup but not everyone can afford it or is comfortable with cloud backup.

                  I am genuinely worried that apple will ditch ports and will ditch itunes backup for apple cloud.

                  Sorry about the rant.
