Well, if they're still in business after replacing half their sold products twice over, you should be able to get a new one when yours dies.

No one will care that it has 10 years. Who had a drive for that long? I have a drive that is 2 years old and it is stupidly small compared to what can be bought now.

I sure hope these things get affordable but a better warranty from Patriot gets hats off.

Could be a final act of desperation - if they're about to file bankruptcy, what do they have to loose? OTOH, maybe they just know their SSDs are that good. I'm leaning more towards the desperation idea.

About flippin' time that an ssd company is going to include a $15 bracket with a $400 drive. 10 year warranty is just good sense, the drives will last passed my normal life time and that of most computer companies...

"...however the Torqx series should offer better stability than hard drives found on the market today..."

ummm, whadya mean, kev?

That's pretty dope that they're giving backwards coverage. It's nice that that they're doing that to take care of their original customers rather than just shaft those initial buyers that helped fund their R&D on the new drives.

What I'm wondering is what is covered? a complete failure? How about the drive becoming filled up and no more data may be written (inability to rewrite sectors already written to)? Or drastic reduction in performance over time that I understand is inevitable for SSD's at this point.

I doubt its like the Walfart auto batteries.

It's funny, the company could put a 30 year warranty on it if they wanted to. If it breaks 8-9 years down the road, technology will have come so far by then it'll be a $10-20 drive by then. They're still in the black by a mile.

But will I have to save the receipts?

Of course, in 2019 you will need a 1TB drive just to install Windows.

nyahahahaha

Thats brilliant. Sell it for 500 dollars today and they'll probably only have to spend 20 to replace it if it breaks in 10 years.

 

[scook9]

Just do me a favor guys and don't think that in 10 years you will get a new drive when it break. Refurbished yes, new no.

If you arent thinking about a SSD as your only drive but more like a 64 or 128 GB to have windows with a couple of apps and maybe a game or 2, it'll be affordable very very soon. The good 64 GB SSDs are about 200$ now, they were 400$ only a couple month ago. I consider that 100$ as affordable for a SSD for that purpose.
