    That’s a lot of money. Also, imagine this thing taking a shit after a couple of years and you lose all of the data you have on it.
    Edit: made it a bit clearer.

            I see what you mean. I did mean both, and I should have made it clearer. Sorry. Fixed it

            In the name of even dumber stupid internet arguments, it was. Data loss along with the price paid was an obvious inference.

                And yet the entire context is discussing an expensive SSD that would go bad, inherently implying data loss as part of the inferred outcomes. Not a blender or a crock pot or the LCD display of a 1997 Honda Civic radio.

                  It’s the wrong explicit emphasis though. Faced with a bad 8tb drive my primary concern would likely be the data loss. It’s pretty well known these drives have a five year warranty as well, so if it were bricked even, you’d likely be able to get the money back / drive replaced.

    having dealt with their NM610PRO, I’m not gonna buy another Lexar product ever again.

    Great. Now, it’d be great if they come up with a technology that prolongs their life beyond 6 months.

    anyone who has this kinda money would probably just store data on cloud storage provider. unless they are the provider.
