Let's talk for a while about SSD wear, shall we?
Did you ever experience ssd failure due to NAND wear? Should anyone be worried in 2017 about losing all data after downloading too much anime?

Also SSD-Z thread.

I have 4 SSDs in different PCs and all of them works perfectly. This is the oldest one, bought in april'13. 3 other is 850 evo 250(D:) and 500GB(different system), and cheap adata(sf550 IIRC) in a laptop.

Came close to it once with a Crucial M4 from 2013, replaced it with an Intel SSD. Apparently I have 150 TB written (on NAND, host writes are a bit lower but why is there such a disparity?) even though I don't even have my page file on it. The hell's going on?

If a web browser like chrome uses your ssd, it will write and read the shit of it. Check your resource monitor during browsing

Nice tool you're shilling here.

I've had 2 SSDs die.

One was a first gen Kingston SSD. No trim support and only 64gb. My system bsod'd and I rebooted and kept using my PC, but after a few more crashes I realized my SSD went read-only. I paid $130 in 2010 for it and warrantied it in 2013 when it died. It got replaced with a much better but still cheap Kingston 64gb ssd. Some whore stole the 64gb SSD replacement after I fucked her.

Second one was a mushkin chronos 120gb SSD with a sandforce controller similar to the ocz vertex 3. It died after a single year and was outright failure.

Now on a crucial mx200 that seems to be doing fine

it's such a shitty ssd that it's not even in the database :^)

i have 2 kingston 64gb ssds from ages ago as my primary drives

one for win 7 one for debian

havent skipped a beat but thanks for giving me anxiety pal

it will matter less and less as we move towards affordable 50TB SSDs.

All 1TB and bigger SSDs are TLC.
It's only a matter of time before they make cells even less reliable, just to achieve cheaper production costs

I dunno about wear but my Mushkin Chronos died about a year after use. Just wouldn't boot one day. Then I tried it again and it worked...for a few hours, then wouldn't boot. Eventually it refused to do anything. I was a lazy ass and never RMA'd it. It wasn't much faster than a SATA 3 drive anyways.

My Samsung 850 evo is going strong a year later.

I'm not sure. My OCZ Arc 100 went full read only mode. The data was 100% accessible so I was able to move it to new SSD. According to the SMART, the disk was healthy, and it was about 1 year old, so I think it couldn't be wear issue but who knows...

my crucial ssd did the same thing. i'm back to using a western digital hard drive to boot from and it's not hugely slower at booting up desu.

You probably should worry about SSD wear given that you use a SSD with defective firmware that writes a few hundred GB a day even if you don't use it much.

>Should anyone be worried in 2017 about losing all data after downloading too much anime?

If you download that many chinese sex cartoons a failing ssd is the least of your problems.

Basically:

MLC NAND: ~3,000 P/E cycles
V-NAND: ~6,000 P/E cycles

256GB 960 prp m.2: ~1,500,000 GB writes
512GB 840 evo: ~1,500,000 GB writes

Normally the controllers will reduce hotspots by engaging in wear leveling, outlive the NAND, and turn your SSD read-only once all the NAND cells are worn to oblivion.

>tl;dr
You'll probably die or replace your SSD before it wears out.

The worst part is I can't RMA this drive... because the data is fine. I have on it my private files, work data, keepass database, apps, games, scans, medial records... I tried to explain that to OCZ, but they insisted to send the drive to them. Nope. Warranty for hdd/sdd is a scam.

They have to test the drive to make sure you're not shitting them. Couldn't you have backed up your stuff and formatted it?

Nope, full read only. I tried to DD it but with no luck. Not a single sector was overwritten.

I've just realised thanks to this that I plugged my shit into the wrong goddamn SATA port when I took everything apart to clean it the other day. Only running at SATA 2 speed.

Hah, didn't think of that. Welp, that's fucked.

Go to hell

wut

Hello fellow R*dditor! I'm with you on this, I too hate all these animeposters on this board! Say, why don't we ditch all these losers and back to /r/ragecomics/ instead?
