  • I don’t think the internal wear-leveling and overprovisioning of SSDs can or should be able to replace raid. Disregarding a dead sector without losing capacity is great, but it won’t help you when (for example) the controller dies.

    Depending on the amount of data you’re storing SSDs also might be too expensive.

    The only exception is maybe Raid 0 in a normal PC. Here it’s probably better to just get one disk for each logical drive.


  • I had a motorola z3 play a few years ago.

    Software quality was pretty good. Security updates were sometimes 3-4 months behind and would combine a few monts when they did get released. When I contacted them about it I was told that not all security patches google issues apply to them. I don’t have a way of verifying that.

    With “normal” updates to different Android versions they where also slow, but I guess that’s normal with most Android vendors.

    The biggest bummer with that phone was that they killed the module-feature halfway trough it’s livecycle in some regions. (You could snap modules to the back that would add additional stuff like a 360° Camera or a bigger Speaker)

    There is an official lineageos build for the z3 play which still gets updated I believe. Even very recent motorola phones get lineageos pretty soon after release. (Not shure tho if that includes all or just the flagships)
