First reply is best reply.

This is why I exclusively use laptops. Battery is surge protection by itself.

>Another

which other memes have you experienced, user?

I bet you also fell for the Solus meme, faggot

Too poor to afford UPS?
Must suck for you.

I've had a few blackout in my state with my sdd, while still working.
Whats is this meme?

> he can't spot canadians

That's some 2/10 bait
However, info on the disk really dies after some time, but SSD has to be unpowered

>things that didn't happen

Just got a power loss and it's not detected in my bios. Been trying for 3 hours now by powering my PC on with only a power cable to my SSD and it's still not recognized.

"Didnt happen"

Googling "SSD power" > your shitty fucking meme about SSDs being immune to everything

>he fell for the SSD meme

Where I live UPS and surge protectors don't last long. I've had some equipment fry even with surge protection. My a/c unit has one and I've gone through two of them. THe last one actually caught on fire one night and I had to put it out. Shit is cray cray in the lightning capital.

Try moving.

Let me guess, SanDisk right?

>mfw sandisk ssd dies on a power trip in the middle of a video conf meeting

I don't know what to believe anymore

Crucial

PNY

>info on the disk really dies after some time, but SSD has to be unpowered

Unpowered as in PC turned off or as
psu not plugged in the power outlet?

I would but I'm on a extra large lot corner on a canal and out into the gulf of mexico. White area no minorities or illegals it's pretty great. It's like 65 out and good shitposting weather.

luddite faggot

The problem is probably from the PSU, not the SSD.
Also, a good SSD should not die like that.

>2016
Not having a Tesla car

why are people itt calling a power loss a surge

Power losses here are sometimes just drops in voltage so the lights might not flicker but you can watch the drops in real time and something with a higher draw or more sensitive like a UPS/PC will treat it as such.

My house fries light bulbs and hard drives. I've gone through like 3 hard drive in 5 years and probably 50 light bulbs. This grid is fucking awful.

Yea I've had some long life CFL's and especially the ballasts in floros need replacement due to how jankey things are at times.

Holy shit this is delusion..
Get help if you think PSU affects SSDs.

can u explain how a drop in current from an ac switching on or something hurts components? I thought only voltage surge could hurt components.

Hnng feels good

A surge is a sudden brief increase in power, aka.. a surge. A drop is called a brownout. Power loss - it cuts off completely. In any case, a UPS is the only thing that can protect a computer from all of this bullshit. HDDs aren't immune to it either, though they often do better than SSDs. My HDD has survived about 15-20 power losses so far. Got the cold sweats each time tho.

Most failures are when it's doing writes when the power loss happens. Either the HDD head can crash on the platter, or SSD's controller and/or specific NAND cell could get fucked.

Nice quads

a surge is when power is out but just for a second, power loss is when it's out for minutes or even hours or days

another term for it is brownout (again, as opposed to a blackout/power loss)

Are power supplies always drawing their rated wattage? Or do I need to only need to get a UPS rated for the wattage my system draws vs the watt rating of the PSU.

For the light bulbs, if they are surrounded by glass, consider removing the glass. High heat can toast light bulbs prematurely. Even LEDs.

Alternatively, try a different brand.

>Are power supplies always drawing their rated wattage?
no

Or do I need to only need to get a UPS rated for the wattage my system draws vs the watt rating of the PSU.

Yes. However you may in the future run into a situation where you do something that uses more power than usual, and your UPS will start to beep and complain it can't keep up if you settled for a weaker one

No, it's best to measure the power consumption of your PC and monitor with a wattmeter (like one of those kill-a-watt devices) and then add about 20% overhead to make sure it gets powered smoothly and that you have enough time to shut down.

Also, UPS-es are usually rated in Volt-Amps (VA) which is different than watts:

True, we are a bunch of tards

what kind of loser uses the stock batteries?

I think you got le trolled. sorry bro

he's right though
I have constant power surges where I live and I have never lost a single ssd or any computer component to it

I fell for the Intel 730 meme and I don't have this problem

i lost a hdd because my UPS died
there wasn't even a power loss

Did tou get any warnings beforehand? What brand/model?

>implying its not Americans who butcher the Queen's English

>Battery is surge protection
I'd say you can't be serious, but.

it was a while ago, and it died while i was sleeping

too poor to buy proper SSD

SSD itself not plugged in

What sort of time are we talking about? Decades? Sd-cards ought to suffer from similar issues.

About 6 months for consumer-grade devices.

>2016
>living in a country with regular power outages

having a server... not investing in a UPS
dunno who is the retard here

he's right.. the circuits are separate.

It doesn't have to be regular to happen once

Hi OP, tech guy here. Most likely scenario is that the e fuses inside the ssd have died and need replacing. That should get it up and working.

surge protections a meme

Source?

>hdd dies after I hit it with hammer
wow, never again

>HDD died after I shut my door a little too hard

FUcking MEMES

Should have fallen for the "uninterrupted power supply" and "quality computer power supply" memes first.

>Not buying an Intel or Samsung SSD
>Poorfag

>electricity fried my electronic device
The post

Only the enterprise Samsung, along with Intel 730, Intel enterprise, and Crucial mx300 have power loss caps. Maybe a sandisk also, i can't remember.

So wait, if I turn off my PC and unplug it the SSD will die?

If a cell is being written too while the power is cut the cell can lose all its data.

Yes of course, because that would make a lot of sense.

No, but leaving it unpowered in hot climates for 6+ months may corrupt your data. Theoretically.

>15-20 power losses
>living in 3rd world country

I've had complete power loss on Intel 320, 530, and Samsung 850 EVO. It's never been an issue. Matter of fact, in the last 6 years the only SSD problem I ever experienced was the 8mb bug an a 180gb 320 that was later fixed with a firmware update. I think Intel learned their lesson with that mistake. All my Intel drives have worked flawlessly since then.

>Living in tornado country during the early summer

>buying knockoff stuff from alibaba when the real thing is the same price

It can still potentially happen if you don't have caps on your drive. Its a standard feature on enterprise drives for a reason.

Which meme is that? The one that goes "I dont need a UPS because power never fails"?

Back to Sup Forums troll

>>power loss
>oh maybe if you had a surge protector

Idiot. Surge protectors help against the opposite of power loss; they are for when there's a power surge, so too much power being sent through. You mean an UPS, an uninterruptible power supply

>not using an array of High Power(tm) Lithium Polymer batteries for maximum POWER

>he has an shit SSD
LMAOING @ UR LIFE

let's see where this is

>acid batteries

LMAOING @ UR GRAMMER

i bet you get all the grlz

what brand?

>no one here dares to plug the power cable to their power supply while their PC is on with a SSD

Enjoy your fire hazard

What kind of batteries do you think are inside a UPS? Hint: UPS-es weigh a lot.

My laptop and my desktop were both without power for over 4 months at a time.
No data loss occurred.

>Not having a UPS backup with a big battery

I can run my entire battlestation at full gaming load for over 20 minutes on battery, including monitors and speakers.

This happened to me once when I accidentally nudged my chair in to the table not all that hard, really.
Shitty Seagate drives. (although, ironically enough the drive I have in this Dell PC is a Seagate and it has run 11 years solid... PANIC)

Are you illiterate

My Intel SSD has survived like 10-20 power outages without anything happening.

Though, couldn't all this be prevented by some sort of logic on the motherboard that detects when a power outage happens by measuring the drop in amperage as the charge in the PSU caps are drained miliseconds after the outage, and then quickly tells the drives to safely stop their write operations?

Some SSDs (like Intel's old models IIRC) have a cap built in for that exact purpose.

>Where I live UPS and surge protectors don't last long.
Shitty UPS.

>not having a HDD backup + UPS

You can literally get insurance from UPS manufactures, did you cheap out?
