I wonder if they are doing anything to further reduce SSD usage in the OS that will help. Many of the tips people use to reduce wear and tear on their SSDs (noatime, journaling, sleep image, etc.) seemingly would have further benefit to saving on power.
- melchebo 13y agoCurrent consumer SSDs even with developer / power user usage patterns should be able to run for at least 30 years before the flash is no longer guaranteed to work (1000 block wipes). The write amplification problem was mostly for the first naive SSD implementations that would do a block wipe cycle on every write. These naive SSDs have about 4 IOPS of 4K random write, you'll notice that.
- ChikkaChiChi 13y agoWhen I disable noatime I am not doing it to conserve write cycles, I'm doing it to reduce I/O. Less electrical impulses running across my bus, the better.
