SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[Ao1]

Hi John, when you were waiting for the MDF5 update did you leave the drive on idle? Maybe that period allowed static data rotation to revitalise the NAND reserve? Seems a bit strange that it is still going strong 9TB after getting to MWI 1. Even if the NAND specs are based on minimum PE cycles, that still seems quite a lot of data

I had it on for a few hours without running Anvil's app, but then I powered the computer (and SSD) down for the night, and did not power-on again until Anvil's new app was ready the next day.

I'm not surprised that it can continue going after more than 6000 erase cycles. Between possibly conservative specs for the erase cycles of the flash, and the spare-flash the controller reserves, I would not be surprised if it tops 10,000 erase cycles, or even more. But who knows? Wait for the data! We shall see...
