| Post subject: | SSD as backup drive for long term |
I have 2 SSDs and one 2TB HDD. SSD 120GB and 240GB SSD. 120Gb I use it for the OS. Second 240 SSD is free. 2 TB HDD for data storage. As I know SSD life span depends on read/write cycle the more you read/write the life is effected. One cannot keep the data forever on SSD as it one needs to keep it power on. I need to keep data backup which i don't need regularly. ( like photo and some important files) What if I backup my data on second SSD than hide from disk management from explorer. This will avoid unnecessary read/write to SSD. I don't need to use it everyday just once in a month. According to my knowledge as it is plugged in there is no issue of losing power everyday. When I need it just unhide the SSD backup some data and again hide it from disk management. Question is will this increase the life span of SSD which is now say X to 2X or whatever. Thanks |

Is it really a backup or a storage? A backup means that there is an original and a copy... What I recommend is a backup. |
