@metamourge yeah it's about SSDs. I didn't change anything after the default installation of Ubuntu , so I guess it's on
-
@metamourge I've also read somewhere that EXT4 isn't that friendly on ssds, and that i should use f2fs
-
@gronostaj well, the first one just stopped booting and it wasn't even recognized by the bios.
The second one was getting slower and slower until one day I checked it and I found a lot of dead sectors. Each day I was scanning it more and more sectors where dead and the system now started to randomly hang
The third one would randomly kernel panic. -
@spyridonas
I use EXT4 on my laptops ssd for over a year and it works great.
Check in your /etc/fstab if the partitions on your ssd have the mount-option noatime, and if not, add it. -
Do they return total bytes written in SMART? If it's unreasonably high for their lifetime, it's a misconfigured OS or you're writing to them very heavily, more heavily than they can endure. If it's reasonably low, you had a bad batch.
-
@gronostaj I guess their controller died, since I couldn't boot the systems after the disks failed. So I couldn't get the smart data you are talking about.
I've also returned them back.
Our workflow includes docker and phpstorm, are those 2 known for being write heavy? -
@spyridonas Not *that* heavy, modern SSD should work for years under such usage. SSDs failing from wear become partially read-only if I'm not mistaken, they shouldn't have their controllers suddenly failing. Try to update firmware on ones that are still alive, maybe it's buggy (and read their SMART!)

Root825315yWhat's with the "group group" naming scheme anyway?
TeamGroup
TeamTeams (Some faux-MLM thing. really.)
PublicUs (WeWe!)
I forget the others.

Everything works great on Ubuntu!
Hell yeah let's install it everywhere.
3rd hard drive dead in 6 months.
But I blame the brand, TeamGroup, or the batch was bad ( all 3 of them were bought at the same day from the same shop)
