My ssd boot drive failed last week, Explorer froze and my drive was dead. I had a backup plan which ran most days so was able to get back up and running after a relatively short time.
Things weren't quite the same though. Icons for Mail and Windows Store were blank in the taskbar, and videos/films etc; wouldn't open in the default program but would work with Windows Media.
I have a feeling there may be more to discover yet. My ssd wasn't the best, a Kingston SSDNow 480gb V300 but was lightning compared to the sata 3 mechanical drive my boot system is on now. I wonder if it's a good idea to do regular backups from an ssd drive? and if it may have shortened it's life.
I am looking at ordering a Samsung 860 Evo 1TB and doing a clean install of win 10.
