Hi, I'm looking to move to an SSD for the OS + APPS for the 1st time.
** needing ~230-300gb usable SSD space.
I'm really concerned with SSD drive failure and the potential catastrophic impact that could have on software licenses that must be "deactivated" before uninstalling (in order to be able to reinstall on a fresh OS). This is true for software like Photoshop as well as other CAD software that is installed. If the drive dies, my licenses may go with it.
1st question: So, how to mitigate this risk of failure? (Raid 1 comes to mind but the $$$ is too high).
2nd question: What are some decently reliable SSDs in the 200gb-300gb (usable) size range? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
