I have one HDD that survived 20+ years, and an aliexpress SSD that died in 6 months. Therefore all SSDs are garbage!!!

That’s also the only SSD I’ve ever had fail on me and I’ve had them since 2011. In that same time I’ve had probably 4 HDDs fail on me. Even then I know to use data from companies like backblaze that have infinitely more drives than I have.
