Aren't the wear-out numbers for flash understated? I seem to remember that the flash I've worked with is in the tens to hundred thousand cycles already but maybe that's not what's in consumer products?
Also would be interesting hear about power consumption for read and write.
- JoeAltmaier 15y agoFlash used to last much longer. But flash these days is used in MP3 players etc. I would imagine the average number of writes is something like .... 1. Because when my boys fill up a gadget, they buy a bigger gadget. Like most folks. Even an SSD drive used as a system volume gets written maybe 1 time. SUre some blocks get thrashed, but wear-leveling means they write different blocks. So an mtbf of a dozen would probably serve.
- weaksauce 15y agoIf you only use it for system volumes it will still get written to multiple times with os upgrades, security fixes, and atime modifications. If you don't pull out the page/swap file/hibernate file you are going to be writing those often as well.
