It’s possible, just as increasing the density of NAND with 4 Levels per cell reduces write count.
But can be countered by more careful engineering of the device.
- altcognito 6y agoNAND failures tend to be more localized though.
- Robotbeat 6y agoThis is probably not representative because it was using low grade USB flash devices from 10-15 years ago, but I think I’ve had more NAND flash failures than hard drive failures. I don’t think doubling the number of heads would make a huge difference as you wouldn’t be quite halving the reliability.
- altcognito 6y agoOh, I totally agree in that regard. Hard drive technology has been mature for a good number of decades, so a lot of the kinks have been worked out.
