I recall pikeralpha was concerned that 3rd party SSDs may not contain the firmware for error correction that a real Apple SSD has, and that APFS relies on this said error correction. Is this still something to worry about? I'm hesitant to update my Hack (I'd rather wait to upgrade to HS until APFS is safe rather than stay on HFS+ (APFS is the only reason for me to upgrade right now)). I'm telling my bro with a real Mac using an OWC to wait as well until I hear that slow data corruption won't be an issue...
All storage technologies can fail. It is why we use backup software. Right?
Please note that the most common cause of data loss is "user error".
