So sad this glorious thread and testing has come to a halt. Who is down for a 3D NAND bake-off. The Masked CKRyan, where art thou?
it came to a halt because
a) it's proven that under normal or even extreme workload you won't wear out your ssd
b) some manufacturers already give a 10 year warranty (so you can imagine how long ssds will live)
c) there was a "design fault" with these tests. After a while and thousands of p/e cycles you could continue write data to the cells and keep wearing them out , but the cells couldn't preserve the data if you keep them out of current, even for a few hours. So what was the point of the test after that.
Everything has a time, and the time of testing the endurance of ssds has passed. Although it was one of my favorites too.
