Which SSD for longevity ?

[Dicehunter]

Looking at replacing my last HDD that I have used for music, family pictures, documents and game storage with an SSD that will last a long time.

The HDD I'm replacing is a WD Black 2TB that has been running flawlessly for the last 10 years but the clicks and clacks are a bit of an annoyance and its health report isn't looking clever.

So... which type of SSD would be best for longevity and by type I mean MLC, TLC or QLC ?

I hope you have some other form of backup as well - then though desirable the long term reliability of the SSD is a little less important.

For now I got myself 4 x 256GB Kingston USB sticks for pretty cheap with the same family photos and important documents on each so at least I have a few backups of those.

As for backups of my music, Series etc... I'm debating doing what mrk did and get an 8TB Samsung drive for back up and then another 8TB Samsung drive as my main storage that I then backup every month or so to the 2nd 8TB as I have a LOT of music that's taken me years of collecting, Would suck to lose it.
