Greetings everyone
I was planning to upgrade from HDD to SSD now. I have been told that, considering that i am using a 7 year old HDD, it would be quite an improvement. The problem is that i have read that SSD can die from sudden power loss. I live in an area where sudden power loss happens from time to time, nothing i can do about it. Add to that that sometimes i am forced to do a hard reset of the PC because of blue/black screens. That counts as sudden power loss too. Both of these occurrences are not that common but happen several times a year. If i buy an SSD now will i have to worry several times a year that my SSD could die?
Before someone mentions warranty, yes i would get warrany 3-5 years depending on what SSD i buy. Going through with the warranty is a hassle in my city though, so replacing something once/ a few times a year is a problem.
So my question is : If you consider my situation, should i stick with HDD or dare to upgrade to SSD?
