OpenBSD users, can you tell me your experience of full-disk encryption on a SSD?
Is the encryption overhead noticiable compared to plain SSD? Or is it as slow as HDD?
How often have you lost files due to a poweroff letting your partition on an inconsistent state?
Langsam ist mal gut: Wie schnell Dein Internet sein muss, und WLAN, LAN, USB, ..
Die Bandbreiten scheinen zu stagnieren, beim Internetzugang, bei USB/TB, im (W)LAN, sogar bei einigen PC-Schnittstellen. Im Podcast diskutieren wir die Gründe.
@fuchsiii the packaging (besides the logo) reminds me of the #SSD Kits #Apple sells for the #MacStudio and #MacPro.

Rappel : les SSD *PERDENT* des données s'ils ne sont pas régulièrement branchés.
Sur les SSD grand pubic, branchez-les au moins une fois par an.
Sur les SSD "pro", branchez-les au moins tous les 6 mois.

Corollaire : Sur ces supports il peut être intéressant d'utiliser des systèmes de fichiers qui checksumment toutes les données et méta données afin de détecter les corruptions, comme btrfs.
Most people don't realize how fast storage on SSD's degrades, the old harddisk was much better.

One thing I'm conscious of is the SSD on this Toughpad.
It's a 128GB mSATA device made by Toshiba (THNSNF12). It's probably seen a few drive writes by now.
Now, back in the day OCZ were early pioneers of SSDs… and I had a work colleague that swore by them at first. He had one in a fire-engine red Dell laptop and loved the speed the thing gave him … until the day it failed (within the warranty period).
Pulled the SSD out, put the HDD back in, RMAed the SSD. A replacement came, he put it in, ran with that for a number of months, then it too, failed. After the third RMAed drive, "sworn by" became "sworn at".
Toshiba bought OCZ in 2016, so I'm a bit leery about this SSD.
That said, mSATA is not a common form factor now, so I guess I'll have to take what I can get. The contenders seem to be Kingston, Advantech, Transcend, ADATA, or some brand I've never heard of.
Kingston RAM runs some of my servers, and I've used their SD cards before. That said, I recall an experiment from 2011 that tested a number of 60GB SSDs to destruction (SSD Endurance Test) and I seem to recall Kingston being one of the early failures … but search engines being what they are today, I can't seem to dig that old site up.
We'll see how this one goes… as I say beggars can't be choosers, and this is a rare form-factor now.
About a week late on this but RIP Al Barile. I didn’t prescribe to SSD’s straight edge stance but this was such a huge album in my life during the high school years and beyond. As brutal a hardcore album as you’re likely to hear. It’s so good and still holds up big time. Essential punk classic. #albarile #ssd #societysystemdecontrol #xclaim! #bostonhardcore #hardcore #pushead #punkrecords #punk #recordcollection @vinylrecords
Storage winners and losers in Trump's #tariff-happy world
#US tariffs to heavily impact #HDD and #SSD, increasing costs
#Seagate, #Toshiba, and #WesternDigital have different supply chains, but subject to risks of substantial tariffs, particularly on drives produced in China (124%), Malaysia (24%), Philippines (17%), and Thailand (36%).
#NAND fabricated in Japan or Singapore but diced, tested, and packaged in China, the SSD origin is very likely to be considered China.

SuperDuper! v3.10 B4 now available (well, it was available a few days ago for auto-update, but it took a while to write the blog post).
Blog announcing the release and some info about HDDs vs SSDs to accompany the update:

Nach gut 15 Jahren, finde ich die erste #SSD die nicht sauber läuft...
Zugegeben ist ihr Alter auch bestimmt zweistellig und die Lagerung im feuchten Keller war auch nicht nett.
If you think that drilling through your #SSD is a form of destruction, think again.
(There are Secure Erase commands, if it still works. Otherwise, GCHQ recommends shredding it.)
