<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>After facing a 2nd green drive failure since January, I began dreaming of using SSDs as long-term storage. Just curious if anyone's using them as storage for video libraries.<br>
<br></div>Realize the initial cost is higher, but I'm assuming over the long term the savings would be seen through:<br><br></div>- lower power usage<br></div>- lower heat<br></div>- time cost (not having to re-rip libraries every time a drive fails)<br>
</div><div>- etc :-)<br></div><div><br></div>If the drive is configured not to be a recording drive, so essentially there's just the writes as you add your DVDs/Blu-rays, wouldn't the lifetime be very, very good?<br>
<br></div>Also, since I have non-green drives that have happily been running for over a decade as opposed to the multiple green losses I've endured over the last four years, should I just be avoiding greens?<br></div>
