Somewhat unrelated, but I recently had a motherboard fried by power instability which has given me a healthy respect for the difference between spinning rust and SSD's.
My SSD's were scragged. my HDD's were just fine. I guess it's time to figure out how to get a realistic write-through cache setup going, because from now on, if it ain't on spinnin' rust it ain't hard enough yet.
ServalWS B450. Was not at all amused. Oddest bloody thing, because had a pair of Samsung EVO's M.2 NVMes in there, and it still managed to let the magic smoke out.
CPU/GPU and RAM lived, but the corruption of the drives (even if the data was largely recoverable) and rendering of them as inviable to further writes really took me by surprise.
That combined with the way the HDD just did not care one lick despite apparently, just illustrated for me a difference in tolerance to operating conditions that I'd not had the chance to witness first hand yet.
Just figured I'd share while we were talking about SSD weirdness and firmware nonsense.
