SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[Vapor]

@SynbiosVysem, the rest of us are keeping a lot more static data on the drive than that...basically the same amount as a compact Windows install.

SMART isn't broken, the algorithm is just changed. MWI will drop below 100% after 5-10TiB of NAND writes, then count down normally from there.

When LTT kicks in, the only thing that will restore performance is idle time connected to a PC. A secure erase won't do anything (other than restore the drive to a fresh state compared to a used/steady state...but LTT is independent of burst throttling and new/used/steady state). Will be interesting to see what lifetime length your drive is set for (will be able to tell once LTT kicks in). The Vertex 2 40GB (34nm) was set for 1 year with 5000 P/E cycle NAND but we have no idea what Corsair set theirs for (or even what NAND you have).

I'd recommend either 46% or 67% compression. 46% acts an awful lot like Windows/applications/caches and 67% acts an awful lot like documents/pictures (DOCX, XLSX, DNG, PNG, and JPEG).

I'd recommend GiB free set to 12 like the rest of us.

And yeah, feel free to stop/start at will (you don't even need to have "Keep running totals" checked because your drive tracks both host and NAND writes).


@B.A.T, very excited for the V+100!

Thanks Vapor I will make those adjustments and start running again. I noticed you guys basically report every day. Does it matter any particular time-interval for reporting?
