Here's why I'll neever trust an SSD for long-term data storage

I love SSDs for their blazing-fast read and write speeds; mechanical hard drives are no match for them. I started using SATA SSDs back in 2012, and today, I wouldn't dare to build a new PC without one. Right now, I use the Corsair MP600 PCIe 4.0 SSD as my primary drive, but that doesn't mean I've completely abandoned HDDs. That's because there are times when reliability matters more, for example, when you want to store important personal or work documents.
