For those of you deploying lots of SSDs for work, how often are you having to replace them due to wear out? Many have 5 years warranties with multiple PB written (or drive writes per day), so I wonder how things are in practice.
- true_tuna 8y agoWearout is very uncommon. Biggest thing to do is make sure you don’t fill them up. Full drives are unable to do their optimal wear leveling.
- Rafuino 8y agoWould you do anything different with your storage software or SSD procurement if you didn't have to worry about filling up SSDs or wear leveling? Wondering how big of a pain point it is (disclosure: I work on new SSD tech at Intel).
