Behind a registration wall. Anyone have a mirror?
Edit: My apologies, mixed up this with other youtube wsj article which is behind paywall. Consequence of opening multiple articles at once.
- fletchowns 12y agoYou sure about that? I've never hard a problem viewing techreport articles without an account.
- Achshar 12y agoYou're right, it was my mix up with the other youtube wsj article which is behind paywall. Consequence of opening multiple articles at once.
- scrollaway 12y agoI don't see a reg wall here. But TLDR: Even with only six subjects, the fact that we didn't experience any failures until after 700TB is a testament to the endurance of modern SSDs. So is the fact that three of our subjects have now written over a petabyte. That's an astounding total for consumer-grade drives, and the Corsair Neutron GTX, Samsung 840 Pro, and compressible Kingston HyperX 3K are still going!
- NamTaf 12y agoThe selection of brand comes from more large-scale trends in failure, like what OCZ went through with some of their Vertex drives. They were firmware bugs rather than degredation of NAND that led to a more sudden bricking of the drive and loss of data. A properly functioning drive will last ages now. Not all manufacturers produce the same rate of improperly functioning drives, so that's where the discrepency in product exists.
