I've had this 128gb Intel 320 SSD since 2011 back when everyone said SSDs were a meme and die too quickWell... how come it's still going? 26tb reads and 29tb writes and reporting 94% health
>>109176334>15 years old>26tb read 29tb write>about 4tb read+write/yearyou're barely using it.on my samsung sata ssd from 2020 I had about 3tb r+w every month.but yeah ssds, especially the cheap qlc/tlc ones you get lower speeds and they die very quickly.if your ssd is a slc then it's probably good to go for a few more decades at this rate
>>109176334" 94% health" is an arbitrary number
>>109176334
>>109176334>26tb reads and 29tb writes That's hardly anything.
>>109176334The normalfaggots literally cannot comprehend things like AFR or per capita. To them you might as well be speaking Latin to them.That doesn't mean that SSDs never die, all of them will eventually.The difference is that their lifespan can be estimated with TBW. HDDs for the most part just randomly die all the time, sometimes year 1 and sometimes year 10 which is where >>109176663 happens.
Assuming your SSD isn't chinkshit and has dedicated onboard DRAM for FTL, picrel is the theoretical maximum P/E before NAND cell death.However it doesn't take into account write aplification and the fact that consumer SSD manufacturers use NAND only a fraction as good as the enterprise quality NAND.So a conservative estimate is 10% of picrel for say these TLC NAND SSDs: Samsung 870 evo, Crucial MX500, SK hynix Gold S31, and so on and so on.300 P/E cycles x 120GB = 36TB before SSD death300 P/E cycles x 256GB = 76.8TB before SSD death300 P/E cycles x 512GB = 153.6TB before SSD death300 P/E cycles x 1024GB = 307.2TB before SSD deathIf you've turned off page file/swap on your OS, 5-10 years for a 120GB SSD isn't surprising. Users rarely lower the default allocation much less turn it off.So when Bob opens up 12 different programs and 100 Chrome tabs on his 8GB RAM shitbox with a 256GB SSD, he's on average, obliterating 100 GBs of SSD writes per day.By year 1 that 256GB SSD is already beaten half to death and rarely do these shitbox computers make it to year 2, which is why they come with a 1 year warranty lol.Moral of the story: don't be such a fucking kike all the time. You don't have to become an iToddler and buy a $5,000 laptop with a phone CPU and a welded on SSD.Framework laptops exist and if you don't need the super duper ultra portability and aren't a retard custom mini-ITX computers can be built for a fraction of the price.
>>109177047>Frameworkbuy an ad faggot
>>109177119Just giving an example, IMHO if you're gonna buy a laptop at least get one that isn't e-waste a year or two later. Surprisingly, Lenovo hasn't turned into Apple yet.https://www.ifixit.com/News/115827/new-thinkpads-score-perfect-10-repairabilityAnyway yeah, go for the highest capacity SSD you can afford so they'll last you 10 years . After that new computers will probably be 2-4X faster instead of 10-20% faster.
>>109176334>i played in traffic once a year for 10 years and didnt get run over!(more's the fucking pity - Ed)>this proves everyone lied, its perfectly safe!
>>109177047There are Samsung SSDs (with DRAM) that have written petabytes though.
>>109177481Sammy tends to use better NAND than most but 300 P/E cycles is the conservative estimate taking into account sneaking things like write amplification.For example the raw P/E cycles on an empty drive with high quality consumer 3D TLC NAND probably exceeds 1,000.Most people don't leave their SSDs empty though, they'll install an OS, vidya, programs, download movies/tv shows/music, etc, etc.That's what tanks the theoretical ~1,000 P/E cycles of TLC consumer NAND into just 300 P/E in real world usage.
>ark ark write cycles ark arkI love how /g/ always starts blabbing about this like good little parrots, when it's well-known that by far the most common SSD failure mode is the controller chip dying.
>>109176334Every SSD I have owned has lasted orders of magnitude longer than HDDs.
>>109177624it's common on chinesium ssds to get half of your ssd dead because one nand chip shits itself.
>>109176334I've got a 240 GB Intel SSD from 2014 that's still going strong. I'm going to replace it soon, but only because I want more space.
>>109176334>26tb reads and 29tb writesnigger, I get that much in less than a week.
>>109176334because it's rated for 60TB writtenstart bragging when you're beyond that
>>109177877Being wasteful is nothing to brag about.
>>109177624>when it's well-known that by far the most common SSD failure mode is the controller chip dying.>source: my assholeIn reality this is why you buy an SSD that at the absolute minimum:A) Was not manufactured/designed/whatever in China.B) Has dedicated onboard DRAM.If both A and B are met, the chance that your SSD will randomly die due to a dying/defective controller is incredibly fucking low, like probably less than 1%.All you really need to worry about is TBW. That's miles and miles better than periodically changing dust filters and making sure your room is as close to a clean room as possible.
>>109177987>A) Was not manufactured/designed/whatever in China.kek
