And: This article is from 2021, too... Well, it turns out I was in a good position to do an experiment. I had a laptop die a year ago. The last file date in the user home directory is Dec 24 2021. I just did an SSD-ectomy and plugged it in to my desktop. The three ext4 partitions all fscked well, and mounted correctly. I also ran a script that checks files against checksum files. It reported no errors. Two of the three partitions are LUKS encrypted. ntfsfix reported one partition with a bad alternate boot sector, and one clean. gsmartcontrol reports the drive to be healthy. It passed an extended self-test. The drive is a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB. One drive does not a thorough study make, but I wouldn't be too worried. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
