[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 858800, member: 31436"] You should backup regardless of weather you use a SSD or a hard drive. While SSDs may fail suddenly, this should happen much later than a hard drive will fail. As I've already stated, an exception to this is Chinese SSDs from little known brands. If you look at reviews on Amazon, you will see that usually have a fairly high failure rate. Also, as I mentioned previously, I once had a hard drive fail after just a few months of use and without being dropped or bumped. In that case the hard drive was unreadable and if I had wanted my data recovered, I would have had to send it to a data recovery lab and paid a lot of money. Of course you could be unlucky and have a brand name SSD fail prematurely. But in general they will outlast hard drives. There have been a number of tests done which show just that. [/QUOTE]
