I'm a firm believer that local persistent storage should be ripping fast and should fail fast and hard, with data loss. You need backups, it's non-negotiable.

That said, one of the prerequisites for this is that the stuff you're writing to the disk in the first place isn't corrupt.

Yep, my favourite kind of SSD. I don't care if you trash my photos, they're backed up. I don't care if you trash my code, it's all in git.
