Well… Crucial and Samsung ones can be the most popular and that’s why you may receive those the most…

@sluggle7694 Год назад

In the video gaming scene those are the most popular too with machines that are always on.

@pfabiszewski Год назад

To be clear, I am not saying that those are good or bad. I am just saying that this particular conclusion seemed to be based on incorrect deducing. With all respect to NorthridgeFix and his awesome work!

@davidlguerr Год назад

That is right. In fact Crucial and Samsung SSDs are the most reliable ones. The thing is, Alex gets alot of them because alot of them are sold.

@kingi7607 Год назад

was about to say the same. Samsung is known to be most reliable.

I don't think Crucial and Samsung are worse, I think they are just the most used drives. The only SSD I have had die on me was a Kingston.

@SuspiciousGirafe Год назад

You get Samsung and Crucial SSDs failing the most because they're the most popular, not because they're more prone to failure. If you sell 1000x more units than the competitor, even if you have a failure rate 10 times lower than the competitor, you will have 100x more SSDs failing.

@davidlguerr Год назад

That is absolutely correct. Samsung/Crucial are on a different level. From my experience, the worst SSDs are the white label SSDs, which in most cases are just a DRAMless SSD with Kyoxia NAND and a Phison controller. Those fail alot. There are some Kingston models prone to failure like the V300. Most of the issues are not shorts, but rather the controller or the NAND itself.

@robertpage2023 Год назад

So, they are cheaply made then............... IF they are the most sold then it's because of how cheap they are.

@andrewmcallister7781 Год назад

Great video! Careful implying that Samsung and Crucial are less reliable and more likely to fault as they are very common drives and it could just be that there are more of them on the market, so higher qty to go wrong, but this might not be a higher PPM failure rate

@JB-tz9pi 11 месяцев назад

I got nervous when he said that but it only makes sense there would be more repairs if they are more popular. I just bought some new Crucial SSD and NVME to upgrade existing drives.

@fahisaurus Год назад

Crucial and Samsung are the two larger flash memory manufacturers. They're not inherently worse, just more prevalent. Crucial is the consumer arm of Micron, one of the largest flash memory manufacturers in the world.

@ksenchy Год назад

They are for sure the most popular solutions, I have like a 10 year old Samsung EVO 256GB SSD and it still works so I can't complaint. On the latest PC I have 990 PRO nvme and no issues. I have many samsung ssds and no issues. The only disk that died on me was Corsair MP510 960GB which they also replaced under warranty.

Yes, he's working under a microscope and feeding the 'scope's output into the video feed, but in reality those components are *tiny*. That's why Northridge gets the big bucks.😀

@nooboftheyear7170 Год назад

Also, northridge do sell the microscopes. They have them improved from their experience so would be worth it to you perhaps. In these days of competition, the edge is found in technology and knowledge.

Samsung & Micron are the lead manufacturers for both NAND flash and also RAM & VRAM chips, so it makes sense for you to keep repairing them. Even less known/cheaper brands often use Micron chips.

@Cabeza492 Год назад

I have repaired some of these myself, mostly Western Digital. But once fixed we do not discard the drive, we keep using it at least for less important data and that's because here in my country they are quite expensive. PD: I miss the ending tune.

@stanislavatanasov4542 Год назад

In Bulgaria the MX series has 60months warranty. Failure on the 3rd year would cover the drive, the data you have to cover yourself.

@seqvirtualtours Год назад

@damolin77 Год назад

Great job Alex. Is there a reason for not replacing both caps(both because other was getting hot as well) as well as backing it up so the person can have a working SSD back as well.

@richarda3659 Год назад

I was going to ask the same thing. Odds are, once the shorted caps were replaced, the drive would continue to remain reliable for many more years, assuming the power supply to which it was connected was not having power surges.

@M1LAD81 Год назад

It's because the drive will soon fail again. You can't 100% repair these SSD's. Alex said he will backup the drive. Maybe you misheard him.

Hearing this is I am counting my blessings. I have the same Crucial drive only its a 512 and have had it running just fine for more than 10 years now. Dont think I will get many more out of it but dont think I will be getting another one knowing the issues they have.

@LatitudeSky Год назад

Had Samsung Evo DOA, Sandisk SATA SSD (old version, not the new ones having issues) get corrupted. It happens to any brand. Currently run a mix of WD Black, Hynix, Crucial, Samsung and Inland. The Crucial and Inland are in things I don't care about. The Samsung likewise is not critical. Hynix and WD Black have been very good to me. But no matter what brand, have a backup. Any drive can fail. Protect yourself at all times.

@kaczorefx Год назад

@SteGoughdotCom Месяц назад

Wait, so did you replace the capacitor or did you just remove the bad one and it allowed the drive to read? Also, what were the symptoms, did it show up but not allow any access to data, or not show up at all?

When I worked in electronic manufacturi g we tested all componets before insertion to boards. If 1 % failed spec test the whole batch og componets was rejectex ans sent back to the manufacture. These days they dont even test the compents. Thats why we have higher failure rates now and life.

I just watched the first seconds, Samsung and Crucial may are the most popular but for sure not the worst. I am personally using Samsung SSDs since the first one came out and exactly this only one died but after more than 10 years for a 120GB drive it's okay. That one was more than 1€ per GB lol. Crucial I also used some times also no problems only one has been DOA. Also sold my "old" ones everytime I can. Nobody's drive has failed until today except that oldest one.

I have a crucial P3 Nvme internal SSD. I was using it as an external in a SSD housing. It failed yesterday. Will not show in Apple Finder or Windows Explorer. Like in this video the drive blue light stays on when plugged in. Does not start flashing. I removed it from the housing and installed anothe r SSD to test the housing was not faulty. The SSD loaded fine so it is definitely the SSD that's the issue. Is this something you could look at? Thanks. And happy Christmas from Ireland.

@DigVision Год назад

After the fix, do you garbage the drive?

@misterpacoalaparato Год назад

maybe people who buy cheaper SSD drives are not the kind of people that would pay for a repair service, we use a lot of Samsung EVO drives in servers are the fail rate is quite good considering they are SSDs, most datacenters prefer them for servers, i means, used 24/7 during years

@Cotterpin_Doozer Год назад

Saying that Samsung and Crucial are the worst SSDs because you see more of those than anything else is like being a PC tech and saying that Windows is the worst OS because almost every PC that you work on is Windows. Of course it is. It's the most popular OS. I suspect if you look at failures as a percentage of sales volume, the picture changes.
