Having IT roll up into me, I've seen way, way more batteries fail than SSDs. Screen failure [and hinge failure] is far more common than SSDs failing. Keyboard/touchpads fail more often. Charging bricks/cables also fail somewhat more than SSDs. Beyond that, in the low end of the laptop re-use market, "just blindly always buy and install a new SSD" breaks the economics pretty badly. Look at the SMART stats, format the drive, and install your OS. For people shopping laptops under $250, that seems like a better path than a new SSD. |
