SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[vpr5703]

When write amplification is taken into account, 24K Write Cycles sounds right. At 5.5PiB write, that is 22528 WLC. But that assumes a perfect 1.0 write amp. rate, which only a few SSDs can accomplish using compression (SandForce chips, I think). If we assume that 24781 WLC is the entire drive, then the drive has has 6.05 PiB written. 6.05 / 5.5 is a write amplification rate of ~ 1.1 Not too bad!
