On the road to fully automated luxury gay space communism.

I've not been burned by 16TB HDD (DOA) and 8TB SSD (seems to be crapping out after being filled ~halfway). I'm very frustrated by this.

The SSD is an older Samsung model that uses SATA, since I'm mostly using this as a data archive. Seem SATA options are becoming rare for SSDs.

Whenever I try to copy ~1GB of data to it, it will revert to a ReadOnly mode in the middle of the copy process. This is on linux. I'll probably try some more troubleshooting of it, but I'm not too confident about it being my 'data archive' drive anymore.

From some searching, it seems that the RO mode switch is a sign of the disk going into a protected-failure state. Anyone have any experience with this? Recommendations for data archive drives of this size that are not ridiculously expensive?

This site is super useful! Thank you!

I'd like to do some sort of RAID eventually, but I don't really want to take on that complexity/project currently. Maybe I'll feel differently soon though. Just so frustrated with the failures of two 'new' drives right now.
