Looking for more silence and more importantly: Less vibrations and humming noises, I’m thinking about replacing my 5 HDDs (10 to 16TB) with SSDs.
Considering Samsung QVO 8TB for their capacity at an acceptable $ / TB price.
But…
I’m a bit wary of QLC.
What’s your experience with long-term QLC usage ?
I’m not looking for performance (have 2 NVMEs for that), but reliable, long duration hoarding of medias. Though, there will be quite a bit of writing / overwriting.
As it was mentioned, it not enough experience and info about those drives as a long-term storage. Also, if you want to keep your data as long as possible, you should consider having several copies of the data. So, even if the drive/array failure occurs you are still good by restoring the data from another copy.
