That's data retention issues on the very first read-through of the media after sitting in cold storage for many years, with subsequent performance returning to normal. It's definitely something to be aware of (and kudos to the blog poster for running that experiment) but worn-out NAND will behave a lot worse than that.
- userbinator 8mo agoRetention issues with completely new Optane is not great compared to SLC NAND, which Optane was supposed to beat. I have USB drives with the latter, probably a few dozen cycles at most, yet they have had no problems keeping data intact for over a decade.
- zozbot234 8mo agoThat's not completely new, it's just new old stock. That's the whole point of why the blogger ran that experiment.
- userbinator 8mo agoPerhaps "unworn" would be a better way to phrase it, as it had zero program/erase cycles. Even unworn NAND flash has better retention than that.
