Yes I have seen this. The disk write speed randomly gets super slow and tons of stuff just locks up at random as many many programs assume it'll be fine to do little writes synchronously. The whole machine becomes totally unusable.
I see it on computers (and phones too) whose owners bought the smallest capacity to avoid spending money on something they didn't think they would use.
- aurareturn 3y agoThat's not what happens when an SSD reaches the write limit. It'll simply not let you write more data and becomes read only.
- deafpolygon 3y agoI have personally experienced this issue. It just gets very slow before slowly dying outright.
- aurareturn 3y agoOn a Mac?
- Canada 3y agoYes I have seen this occur on multiple MacBook.

- sbuk 3y agoWhat on earth are you doing to make that happen? Either you’re use case is thrashing the SSD, you have a faulty part or you’re exaggerating.
- deafpolygon 3y agoUm, I don't know. Exaggeration? No, I only wish. Faulty part or not, it happened years after the purchase.
- Canada 3y agoI've never had an SSD that just stopped allowing writes and returns an error. Instead it gets slower and slower until at some point attempting to write anything will just block forever. The process trying will be stuck in the I/O wait "D" state in Linux and be basically unkillable. Edit: I should clarify this is what I've seen with nvme devices in particular.
