- baruch 11y agoThe requirements for an enterprise SSD is lower than that of the consumer SSD under the assumption that such SSDs are hardly ever left unpowered for an extended period of time. The SSD is in fact better because it better uses its internal resources to optimize for things other than retention without power.
- creshal 11y agoAccording to the slides, Enterprise SSDs are tested to much stricter standards (one order of magnitude better error rate).
- dogma1138 11y agoRead the presentation this was the load testing for the Enterprise test, it's pretty much a torture test with 100% load time. With this I'm actually surprised that the SSD's lasted as much as they did, for about 6 years now I've been using SSD's and the longest one of them survived so far is less than 18 months, and at much lower loads than what they've tested in. Since late 2008 I've been always running 2 SSD's for my main system drive in raid 0 with no much load on them other than games, some work stuff and the OS. At any point in which the drive has no more spare blocks to relocate failed blocks too i toss it away and replace it (if read errors come close to critical i do the same). For the first couple of years the SSD's only lasted for about a year(my first Intel pair lasted something like 5 months, but those were shitty controllers), this time with the Samsung 840 EVO's i have a feeling that they might actually last the whole 2 year span of my desktop.
