From what I understand, newer consumer level SSDs are designed to have a lower TBW (TeraBytes Written) - mostly because any reasonable consumer doesn't write terabytes of data to their SSDs in any decent length of time. Enterprise/Higher end "GaMeR" SSDs have higher TBW ratings - I believe 1TB FireCuda Model NVMe SSDs have something insane like a 1800 TBW rating when I was looking a couple weeks back.
These above mentioned consumer drives, when written to in massive amounts (I believe even the lower sized Chia plots thrash the SSD to the tune of at least a couple terabytes of write usage) cause it to degrade at a significantly higher rate.
Long story short, consumer SSDs aren't designed for super high write tasks, while enterprise and higher-end ones are.
- floatingatoll 5y agoWhat is the expansion of the acronym “GaMeR”? I’ve not seen it before and I want to be sure I understand.
- unwind 5y agoIt's not an acronym, it's the word "gamer" written in something akin to leetspeak [1]. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet
- plttn 5y agoThey're just spongebob texting "gamer".
- bcjordan 5y agoBelieve it's use of Mocking Spongebob style https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/mocking-spongebob https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/mocking-spongebob

- tmathmeyer 5y agoits "gamer" like "video game player". not an acronym.
- floatingatoll 5y agoThat's incomplete, it turns out; apparently it's a weirdly capitalized form of "gamer" with sarcastic/disrespectful intent towards the referenced group.
- cylde_frog 5y agoI think he's making fun of the over the top gamer branding some technology products have.
- ev1 5y ago> I believe 1TB FireCuda Model NVMe SSDs have something insane like a 1800 TBW rating when I was looking a couple weeks back. This is still only a couple hundred 100GB plots (the smallest possible size). "Chia SSDs" being made are something like 12000TBW.
- hogFeast 5y agoFirecudas are terrible for Chia. TBW doesn't matter as much as people think. Some of the lower TBW SSDs will outlast the higher TBW ones (again, Firecuda is an example of the latter). The standard plot size uses 1.2TB of writes. You won't wear out your SSD in a few weeks with Chia...you just won't. If you use a 120GB one, maybe...but no-one is doing this.
