SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[Christopher]

So I modified the Min GB Free the other day. It took a while, but the 830 is now unable recover its speed. I ran the Magician Optimization 6 times, but no increase in speed. I'm going to have to SE.

I was using 18.3GB of static data, 16GB min Free, so that leaves 26GB per loop. If I move it down to 12GB Min Free, it can't keep its speed up, and worse, can't be fixed.



Before SEing the drive, I tried a few things. The Samsung Magician's performance optimization is worthless. Those numbers above are abyssmal, and it all started when I lowered the min free space to 12GB. It took about a day, but the controller seems to have backed itself into a corner here. Something is wrong though... it's not fixable with traditional means, so I'm going to be forced to SE it. Just deleting the volume didn't do much. Large sequential writes didn't do much. Samsung's software didn't do anything, even when run 8 times at about 4 minutes each.

EDIT


This is after a SE. It looks pretty sad.
