My laptop's Liteon SSD seems to corrupt early written blocks
when the disk gets near to full. (Or randomly, not sure.)

Preparing to upgrade away from this POS.

(Via full OS reinstall since my OS doesn't track every OS file with hashes, which is kind of ridiculous.)

@joeyh I'm still scared to switch to an SSD given how often friends complain about corruption. I can't tell if I'm being absurd or not.

I wonder if there's a study out there about the relative corruption rate of spinning platters vs SSDs?

@cwebber @joeyh From what I've read / experienced spinning disks tend to fail gradually, with some parts becoming inaccessible. SSDs seem to be more binary.

Apples backup strategy of sending data from a laptop SSD to an external hard disk seems to be a decent model.
