This is a bad quality SSD and very cheap, what did you expect?
how long do you have it?
Edit: And why did you install Rapid Storage Technology? Do you run any RAID?

PrincessCharming reacted to Mihle in Canon officially announces the EOS RP - A full-frame mirrorless camera starting at $1299
Yes, but not full frame.
The camera house itself of the X-T20 or X-T30. With kit lens they become more tho.
But X-T100 with lens is cheaper.
Sony a6000, but its an older camera.
Canon m50
Olympus and Panasonic have some I think, but those are smaller sensor and stuff, but they have some alternatives.
If you care about video, x-t100 and a6000 does not have 4k video that is usable, and canon m50 is only 4k in crop mode. I think most Olympus doesn't have it while Panasonic does, but don't remember the price of those that have.

it would be really nice if they just come up some new sensors. that same old chip has been on various cameras for years, think how sony doing amazing tricks on their a7 cameras.
canon seems ill-prepared for the mirrorless age when everyone (i mean sony...) is r&ding the crap out of itself for new sensors that are truely optimised for mirrorless bodies, where the old dinosaur just ditch the mirror and get done with it. altho they still have nice glasses.
speaking of the price, how much for a second hand vanilla a7 with decent condition now? half, maybe?

The issue, as I understand it, is that Canon (and Nikon, for that matter) is a classic Japanese company that has a long roadmap ahead of it and doesn't adapt quickly to change. It's going to release an updated version of camera X a couple years from now, a new camera in existing category Y several years from now, and it would take a giant upheaval to disrupt its strategy.
The issue, as you might have guessed, is that Sony is not really a classic Japanese company these days. It develops aggressively; it isn't really attached to tradition; it's happy to pump out new iterations of successful cameras on a fairly frequent basis. The EOS R and RP represent Canon being forced to behave more like Sony instead of clinging to some 10- to 20-year roadmap where it assumes nothing will change.

This sounds like a downgrade to me.

Basically, the term "mirrorless" denotes a camera that does not utilize a mirror for use with an optical viewfinder. This technically extends to consumer compacts and even smartphone cameras, but the term is usually used for cameras that feature sensors typically found on DSLRs while omitting the mirror reflex mechanism.
Typically, on a DSLR, you have a mirror which reflects light through prisms onto an optical viewfinder, which gives you a direct view of what the lens sees. When you take a photo, the mirror flips up and the shutter opens up, exposing the sensor to capture the photo.
A mirrorless camera omits the mirror and as such, the optical viewfinder. So your viewfinder is either entirely on the LCD display or a separate EVF typically utilizing OLED, and as such, it's 100% in Live View (what the sensor sees). Despite the omission of the mirror, a mechanical shutter still exists.
