    How long will an SSD last?

    How long will an SSD last in a linux receiver such as a VU+ Duo 2? I'm recording 3 radio stations 24 hours a day every day of the year. I'm also recording a few hours of TV every day.

    I just have a crappy Sandisk 100 GB SSD. It's not a long lasting drive like a Samsung EVO.

    Hi,
    it depends a lot on the use case and the type. Normally you can fill a SDD a few times each day for several years.

    The usually have a lifetime total write of 160~200TB (for a 480GB SSD - the rating is roughly proportional to the storage size).
    However, you don't need the speed of an SSD (particularly not for a radio recording). So why not just use an HDD?
    (PS: My Linux laptop is at 8TB writes after 5 years - but it's not heavily written to.)

    Should be fine in storage for a very long time, even if it did break its a Pro series drive so it has a 10 year warranty.

    It depends upon your using style. If we take care of this, then we can take a long time in our life. Otherwise, break this one very soon. If the estimation is difficult, then I recommend choosing a value between 1,500 and 2,000GB for a long period of time.
