x-scratch Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 just installed my 1st ssd drive, so far so good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLegendOfMart Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 :( I have set it up for over-provisioning though (ie shrinking the partition and leaving 10-15Gb unpartitioned space), helps having bigger cache and stops performance degredation and improves the life span of the SSD.

The Evil Overlord Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 a little confused, do these drives wear out? (I just bought one) (I've got hdd's over 15 years old now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAFK Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 a little confused, do these drives wear out? (I just bought one) (I've got hdd's over 15 years old now) Technically yes. Every flash cell is only rated for a certain amount of writes, but a modern SSD utilizes techniques such as wear-leveling and over-provisioning and will last many years unless you have some sort of highly abnormal constant heavy write workload, you shouldn't worry.

Aergan Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 a little confused, do these drives wear out? (I just bought one) (I've got hdd's over 15 years old now) For normal usage, don't worry yourself. If you're talking enterprise level filer then that's different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
