Re: fucking incredible

Why make a drive which lasts 20 years if >80% of users throw it away when they buy a new machine, every 3 to 5 years.

Even more relevant is the (still) ever-increasing data density. If your storage racks are physically full and the next generation of SSDs can hold several times the data your current ones can, then replacing them can be quite attractive compared to carting in new racks (provided there's room and power for that)

Note that this case concerns business storage. Few consumers will run SAS SSDs.
