While it's true that MLC is mostly dead, you might want to consider a higher capacity TLC ssd. If you double your capacity, you double the endurance since SSD endurance is in drive writes per day, and a bigger SSD will likely have a bigger SLC cache to help with the write speed.
- rektide 4y ago2 -> 3 bit cells is a 1.5x capacity bump. i would not be shocked to find tlc has a >1.5x impact on dwpd.
- aidenn0 4y agoBut it might be easier to find e.g. a 3x sized TLC compared to a 1x size MLC in the FF that GP wants.
- adgjlsfhk1 4y agoFor a simple example, the 970 pro (MLC) had a 1200 drive write warrenty, while the 980 pro (TLC) only has a 600 drive write warranty, but the 2TB 980 pro is cheaper than the 1 TB 970 pro so you can get the same endurance for less.
- dinvlad 4y agoSeems weird that only 2TBs fail then
- wmf 4y agoThis sounds like a firmware bug that has nothing to do with endurance.
- spyder 4y agoYep, you can even adjust the overprovisioning manually (at least for Samsung). So if you need more endurance (and improved random write performance) just buy bigger capacity and increase the over provisioning allocation. Found this good summary about it with graphs showing the impact of it: https://www.atpinc.com/blog/over-provisioning-ssd-benefits-endurance-and-performance https://www.atpinc.com/blog/over-provisioning-ssd-benefits-e...
- efreak 4y agoAs long as you're using a filesystem Samsung understands? When I overprovisioned my 860, windows showed that the partition didn't fill the drive. When I decreased the size of the partition in windows, Samsung Magician showed that the overprovisioning had increased. While I'm not sure how the drive itself deals with overprovisioning, Magician certainly detects it based on the size of the partition.
