It's not just the interface, it's the file system as well. A harddisk can be written to infinitely many times, but the cells in an SSD eventually wear out. That's why you have wear levelling, trim, an understanding of common file systems in the SSD firmware, the works. I keep asking: when will the low-level access be moved to a low-level SSD driver, where it belongs.
- jbri 14y agoThe file system doesn't do wear-levelling. Trim has nothing to do with having a finite number of write cycles. The low-level SSD internals are already part of the low-level SSD firmware like you seem to be asking for.
