Flash has limited writes which good ssds cater for with large reserves. Spreading writes out is now part of Linux and usually the HW chips. So I guess if an area of an ssd was dodgy then untill the card was full, errors could be sporadic/one-offs and a reinstall could work as it would be to different sectors. The installer could retry on a write error and on flash be oblivious (like ddrescue) but more likely the install will fail and stop (like dd), would that be detected and/or reported? More serious problems in more important program operations could be looming then though for other programs with a greater and greater likelihood as space is used. Of course it could as has been said be umpteen things like a hairline crack in the board that fails when held a certain way. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
