I bought myself a backup Fritzbox (a router) on the last day before the shops were closed here.

My experience suggests not to worry too much about these things. On my three year old box I've got no HDDs, just two Samsung 500 GB NVMe M2 SDDs (one mounted on the motherboard, the other on a PCI plug in board). Their partitions are set up in SW RAID-1 (apart from /boot). I just use ext4. I've had no trouble in almost three years with these SSDs. All my emergeing is done on a tmpfs (in RAM), for which I've got 16 GB RAM. I've got swap partitions (non-RAID ;-) on the SSDs, but with 16 GB RAM I suspect they don't get used much. And, yes, I do regular backups. Not that I've ever needed them, but if I stopped, I soon would. ;-) > Cheers! > Meino -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
