How long would an SSD last under a graphics card workload?
- Synaesthesia 10y agoSSD's are more durable and reliable than you might think.
- sp332 10y agoIt comes with a 10-year warranty, so it might not even matter. But back in 2014, 240GB drives were approaching a petabyte of continuous writes before failing. https://techreport.com/review/27909/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-theyre-all-dead https://techreport.com/review/27909/the-ssd-endurance-experi... With a couple more years of manufacturing and wear-leveling improvements, and more space for the algorithms to play with, it could be a lot more now.
- mankash666 10y agoOn the contrary, SSD lifespans have actually decreased. Smaller transistors considerably reduce lifespan, and the advent of storing 2 (MLC) and 3 (TLC) bits per cell has hastened the trend. 3D-NAND uses different physics, but as of now hasn't yet matched legacy NAND's endurance (lifespan)
- Dylan16807 10y ago> 3D-NAND uses different physics, but as of now hasn't yet matched legacy NAND's endurance (lifespan) What makes you say that?
- mankash666 10y agoFacts make me say that. 3D-NAND uses charge-trap flash while planar NAND uses floating-gate-transistors based flash. Working in a NAND company also makes me say that.
- Dylan16807 10y agoBy "legacy" do you mean particularly old flash, or planar floating-gate flash in general? Because samsung apparently claims that they can do 3D TLC with better reliability and density than 10nm planar MLC.
- jandrese 10y agoEven if the SSDs crap out after a couple of years the cost of replacing them is tiny compared to the $10k sticker price of the board itself. If you can afford this card the SSDs shouldn't be an issue.
