I mentioned on a /pol/ thread about SSD prices that I had a Samsung 840 pro SSD that had basically been on 24/7 since I bought it 14 years ago. An anon in that thread wanted crystaldiskinfo but I was too lazy to reinstall windows on it. Then a Russian anon told me about smartmontools. Hopefully both of them will find this thread since that one is now archived.Now, to the main two points of this thread.-Can anyone beat my high score?-How long do you think this MLC SSD can last? Because I'm going to run it until failure.

>How long do you think this MLC SSD can last?As long as you want, it depends on how much you write on it. I think it could last longer if you don't write that much to it and treat it read-only unless you have to really change things.
>MLCNo one will come come close with current TLC and QLC trash
>>107743534You've only written about 40 tb to it. That's literally nothing. Barely used. Many people have drives with ten times that written.
I still have my samsung 830
>>107743534I use a Corsair SSD which I have had running 24/7 in my computer for the past 12 years. So, no I can't beat your record, but this disk still has 100% health according to smart-tools.
>>107743534Move your browser's profile into ram to reduce on writes if you haven't already.
>>107743534>wear leveling count 67It's fine.
>>107743534>I mentioned on a /pol/ threadStopped reading right there.
>>107743534The controller will die long before flash memory starts dying out with most use cases out there.
>>107743534>>107743596this, is not about uptime but how much you write and re-write
