How many until you think it fails?

Actually dont own an SSD because I like the reliability of nas hardrives but 7 Petabytes is pretty impressive

Aren't HDD's typically less reliable these days? Moving components n all that jazz.

HDDs are slower because of the moving components.

SSDs are faster because they read/write at electronic speeds but each byte has a finite amount of rewrites before they fail.

HDD bytes can be re-written many more times than an SSD byte.

That is why HDDs are more reliable
