Dell Denies Problems with SSD, Lenovo Exec Takes Its Side

wrote earlier this week:

Skeptics may be tempted to accuse Dell of being defensive without offering any data points to back up that denial. But now Lenovo's Matt Kohut is taking the side of his company's fierce rival. Writes Kohut:

Kohut adds a warning: "Worst case if a spinning platter HDD fails, there are clean room services that can open it up and read the data. Today if an SSD drive fails, there is currently no commercially available way to get that data back. Anyone using an SSD drive MUST have backups."

Whether Avian is right or wrong, it is almost guaranteeing the market will be watching - - closely - - SSD failure rates as the coming quarters come and go.
