Ironic that, a couple of threads near, there's one of us that got it's Intel SSD suddenly dead. But, i guess that  there's always some percentage of RMAs an fails around in hardware

That's the reality of any hard drive, solid state or spinner.

Always assume that they can die at any time. And have a good backup plan, and use it regularly. :D

What HDD do you use for Backups?

Buffalo NAS (Raid 1) for OS full backups weekly, with incremental daily between. I keep a three week rolling cycle, just in case.

DAW projects are backed up to Carbonite real time unless I'm doing drum tracking and then I turn it off until tracking is over.

Full image backups only for me! I don't trust having a chain of dependencies to fall back on. I believe that increases the complexity, and  odds of failure to restore.

Backup storage is relatively cheap now, and USB3 is reasonably fast. Incremental and differential techniques are a throwback to old times (at least for single machine desktop users). If you are a sysadmin running a cloud server farm YMMV. ;)
