Big scare debunked. For example:
"Solid-state drives lose data if left without power for just a few days"

Your SSD solid-state hard drives are just fine, just like we suspected all along.

Big SSD data loss scare was a "big misunderstanding" and not true for you and me ... PING!

I believe a FReeper pointed precisely this point out back on one of the threads on this topic a week or so ago. I can’t remember who, unfortunately.

I have repaired many computers with SSDs and I have yet to have any problem with one, others have. I worked with a guy who had someone drive over his laptop and the SSD survived. But if a SSD does fail, I don’t of any thing you can do or a place that can recover like you have for Hard drives. My best machines use a hybrid SSD for the OS and store data on two mirrored 3TB drives.

I will let you guys know if I have data corruption on my 850 evo 250. I was using one as my main OS but migrated the data to an hardrive because of the update schedule for Windows 10 tech preview. Figured I would save the writes for when I am not rewriting it every two weeks.
