Title: The SSD endurance test: They're all dead!

The first lesson came quickly. All of the drives surpassed their official endurance specifications by writing hundreds of terabytes without issue. Delivering on the manufacturer-guaranteed write tolerance wouldn't normally be cause for celebration, but the scale makes this achievement important. Most PC users, myself included, write no more than a few terabytes per year. Even 100TB is far more endurance than the typical consumer needs.

I do a 100TB's of writes in a weekend, easy.  Yes, I know I am the odd man out and very few people would be beating a storage system up like I do.  Damn 4K video standards.

You have a pretty beefy storage system then as you'd be doing 578Mb/s of writes 24 hours a day flat. Most platter disk systems struggle to reach 100mb/s.

I guess I was being too subtle.  Although, I could have swore I put the smiley in there.  My bad.

It takes a week or two to do 100TB's.  It depends on what I am rendering.

I just sensed a hint of exaggeration there ;)

I certainly hope so.

My RAID10 arrays do roughly 1PB per year each. If built with SSDs, they'd be dead in less than a year. Last rebuild was over 3.5 years ago, with only 2 (out of 16) HDD failures since then.

And that has nothing to do with the fact that an average user may never do a petabyte of writes in his life. In general daily use their life expectancy (if counting only memory cell degradation and not other electrical failures) is longer than the persons lifetime.

working for a health care insurance company, I found the ssd harddrives failed a little more then I liked. I was leary to use the although I know 
my system would be much faster for it!

The early models had software bugs that killed them in bundles. Those are past history already.
