SSD + ITM (New use?)

actually the toolbox has a fault with system restore points, when you press "optimize". wouldn't affect me.

 

Ah, I see, thanks. Still from what I have seen the problem is intermittent and doesn't happen to everyone. There were users that used original firmware and toolbox with no problems.

EDIT: Probably compatibility related just like the bricking G1 drives.

 

when this controller thing causes premature death of SSD and other hassles, it's enough for regular consumers to avoid these expensive SSDs. any consumer who is willing to take the risk could be regarded as "early adopters".

 

yes, of course. and this happens all the time, each our 1000s of ssds die all over the world due to controllers not behaving.

stupid crap.

there are SOME having issues. like ALWAYS.

this has NOTHING to do with early adopting.


you just blow it up out of proportions for the fun and fame of it.

 

comparing with traditional HD controller failing rate(not disk plate failing rate), i guess SSD controller might get higher failing rate. different brands/models have different failing rates, that's one of the factor we choose brand/model instead of other factor such performance.

 

actually i've seen much hd controllers failing. and tons of hdds due to other issues.

bla..... you won't stop anyways.

 

due to this unpredictable failing rate of SSD controllers, it seems one can only choose a reliable SSD based on actual user feedbacks/reviews...

 

well, bla.. this is the same as always

i can tell you one thing about that failing rate: it's below hdds right now.

can i prove it? no. can you, that i'm wrong? no.

you just base it on internet hype. and fear.

 

bla... .

 

yep, sure thing. read the webldebl and such.

you have one point that will right now give you all the rights you want: ssds aren't for long in the consumer business => there can't be any reports of "my intel ssd works for 10 years now".

but you know what? i have to support tons of hdd failures, it's the one most single reason why systems fail around here. the chance of an ssd to fail from physical reasons is about 0, unlike hdds which fail due to that very often.

so yes, an ssd can fail due to random manufacturing faults. so can anything else. but the ssd has much lower attack vectors than a hdd. any physical failures are reduced to about 0. shock and such is no issue.

and these are THE major points why systems fail: hdds that die due to shock, or what ever.

 

davepermen,

I agree with you, but maybe you can help here?

Edit: Sorry, just saw you were already there. (duh!)

 

no. posted in there already. can't add more help to what you suggested (you had some good ideas).

like always, one needs backups

 

Backup wouldn't have worked for Koshinn's situation in the other thread, unless it was continuous and real-time -- which in other words is impractical, if not impossible in most scenarios.

 

it's doable. but i stated it myself, i don't have it for my documents folder enabled myself..

 

When I come upon a 'magic' image during one of my editing sessions after a shoot, I almost always copy any changes (as I'm working on the image) both to the computer's HD and to an 32GB or 64GB USB stick. That's as far as my 'real time' backup goes though.

When I edit a session, the 'feel' of the images has to be the same throughout the whole shoot - otherwise, they will all feel collectively, as 'snap shots'.

This is why I backup after a complete editing session is finished. If I were to have a computer problem in the middle, I would most probably still have to edit the shoot from the beginning - to keep the 'feel' the same.

I suspect that a 24 hr. take home law exam is somehow the same? If/when you lose your train of thought (or the direction I want to take my images in...), it may be easier to start over completely, than try to capture the essence of what you were working so hard to convey before.

Of course, for the law exam, I could be full of it too!

 

yeah, the most simple solution to that would be to have allwaysync running for the project folder and let it run once each 15 minutes or so, to capture most of the work...
