[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 768557, member: 37647"] You can drop an SSD and it won't break. HDDs are fragile, and heavy, and susceptible to damage by magnetic field and electric static. On the other hand, a failing HDD is likely to give you warning signs before it totally dies. The lifespan of a HDD is simply a matter of luck. It might last 2 years, and it might last 15 years. The big size HDDs -- for desktop computers -- seem to last longer. But that might just be because laptops move around more and get jostled more. Don't know. [/QUOTE]
