SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[Ao1]

This is not normalised, but it shows the difference between theoretical and actual writes required to deplete the P/E cycles.

I can’t recall what Vapor used for compression, but presumably the workload was a lot less compressible than the 46% used for the F3.

I’ve guessed the 830 actual writes, but for sure Samsung SSD’s are really bad at controlling WA, followed by the JMicron/ Toshiba controller. The impact of a lack of TRIM on the Intel G1 drive is also savage. It would be interesting to test a G2 without TRIM.



Now...how to work out normalised values for actual write capacity.....
