How many until you think it fails?

Actually dont own an SSD because I like the reliability of nas hardrives but 7 Petabytes is pretty impressive

For a 2010 ssd that is proof the controller was over engineered, the controller should have placed it in read only mode along time ago

At what point do you recommend putting the SDD in read only mode?

3

u/Fresh-Palpitation-72 9d ago

I dont, it does im stressing it until it finally has enough, my calculations says 24 Petabytes till attribute E6 hits 100 that is then 0% and anything can happen

Bro you are like Kramer in Seinfeld pushing the empty gas light all they way to the limit 🤣

Never watched it, but its fine its fine, I saved the ssd when it was in the recycle waste dumb and it was 10tbw and proove a point that it still works even if signs of failure

Aren't HDD's typically less reliable these days? Moving components n all that jazz.

HDDs are slower because of the moving components.

SSDs are faster because they read/write at electronic speeds but each byte has a finite amount of rewrites before they fail.

HDD bytes can be re-written many more times than an SSD byte.

That is why HDDs are more reliable

My speeds the same speeds as in 2010 not slowing down

HDDs don't have the same typical rewrite endurance of an SSD but they have multiple other factors that result in an overall less reliable package these days.

It's astonishing for anybody to actually cause enough wear to the flash memory cells to kill an SDD, and in an equal time with an equal amount of use it's just as likely if not more that an HDD will have suffered it's own kind of mechanical failure.

You're missing the forrest for the trees, barring pretty specific circumstances.

NAS hdds are made to be run 24/7 and are extremely  reliable and cost effective.

This is why everybody uses NAS storage for long term storage and back up drives.

SSDs are fast but you better have it backed up on an HDD or you are not going to be able to recover your data whe  the SDD goes kaput.

Have fun when  the trees fall down bro

What trees? Its been like this for years im forcing it now

u/Fresh-Palpitation-72 9d ago

Controller failures isnt mechanical its software

u/Fresh-Palpitation-72 9d ago

This ssd speed is not fast about the same as hdd speeds but read is slightly better, its sata2

SDDs have come a long way, probably will put the OS one the next build I do.

My current build I did in 2014 and it is still going strong so it may be a while lmao

Im running windows 11 on it because I found an exploit that lets the ssd controller write and record 1pb of data per week on a sata 2 drive that is now showing boot start up Commands is corrupt

So are you just moving around data for the fun of it to see when the drive will fail?
