SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[Christopher]

I was wondering about the same thing.
In my case it's easy to calculate. 64 020 803 584 byte*828 =48,21 TiB
With an WA of 1.01 it looks correct. Yours on the other side......

Yes. Perhaps it's a straight average? Maybe it's pe cycles / 10? Perhaps it's actually in Klingon.

I don't see how it's possible to have over 1000 times the drive's capacity with slightly over 100 PE cycles. Maybe it's magic.

Is there no MWI for the Samsung 830? I've also read somewhere that the temperature of that SSD is a bit high, hence not recommended for small laptops where cooling might be a problem.

For real.

It gets pretty warm, but so did the Mushkin Chronos Deluxe I was testing before the Samsung. The toggle mode NAND models use a good bit of power, both from the NAND and controllers. The both should have thermal pads to conduct heat into the chassis. My Samsung 830 is actually hanging out of the back of my test system, so it's temp readings are from it's own heat and not the system. I should think it would be fine in a smaller laptop chassis as it only gets hot when you are writing to it as fast as you can for days on end. Laptops tend to get hot anyway, so it's more likely that a laptop heats up the Samsung. Indilinx drives and Intel drive don't get appreciably hot, but then, they use very little power. All of the 6gbps controllers will use more juice anyway, but the toggle mode NAND (Toshiba and Samsung) seem to use the most power on a per-device basis. But boy, are they fast.


Concerning SSD power use, newer drives like the Samsung are using as much power as 2.5" HDDs. But like a SB processor, they don't use much power at idle, then use larger amounts of power while completing work, then return to idle. Because they are so much faster than mechanical drives, they spend one twentieth the time doing the same amount of work at max power which means they can get back to idle as fast as possible. So the drive might heat up for a minute or two at a time, but shouldn't ever get problematically hot unless you're doing what I'm doing.

EDIT
If you look at the whole wear leveling values for the 830 you get 97/97/101. It's 73/73/838 for the M4. Maybe I should add some more static data to see what happens.
