SanDisk . They have always been quick to replace them. The last one they even upgraded to a much more expensive model which makes me think the issue was being widely experienced. If I were to buy today I would buy Samsung as I have heard they are much more durable. Incidentally it was a Samsung phone that died though I don't know who made the memory for that.
- lucb1e 11y agoSame issue here with a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 whose flash memory died. Luckily (or was it luck...) it died about a month before the 2-year warranty ran out and I had it replaced within a week for free. Pretty unheard of service, but still, I've always wondered why that thing died.
- rorykoehler 11y agoSame phone but unfortunately mine was just out of warranty. It seems to have been a thing with them.
- Vexs 11y agoThere was a review of SSD lifespan a while back, they found the samsung 840 pro was able to survive something to the effect of 2 petabytes of wear before failing. The worst of them all started to fail at 100TB, and failed at 900TB. Unless you're running something with crazy IO, I can't imagine ever practically running into that limit.
- jordanthoms 11y agoYeah, but the problem is that SSD failures usually have nothing to do with flash wearing out, and more to do with catastrophic, sudden failures somewhere else (mostly the controller AFAIK) causing the drive to stop doing anything at all. I had a 840 Pro fail on me, hadn't had many writes but just stopped showing up in the BIOS one day.
