Carbon Fiber Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I want an SSD as well when they lower a bit in price :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDStriker Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 just says "calculating for the lifetime.... I think there may be a new firmware for your ssd "AXM08B1Q" http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/MZ-5PA128/US - Firmware tab Hopefully it supports trim although you'll need to verify this firmware is intended for your drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxster17 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Still looking good after several months of use, and still running at the same speeds: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olemus Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 This makes no sense at all by the way, the poster above me should have a way longer lifespan based on the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+devHead Subscriber² Posted April 30, 2011 Subscriber² Share Posted April 30, 2011 After several more months of use, I finally have an idea of how long it should work for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starbuck84 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Nice little application, although my results aren't that trustworthy. Just got mine. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiFteDReaLitY Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Not too bad here. Just used as a boot drive and for a few other programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AltecXP Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I'm down to 70%, but still says that it will last till 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohead Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Noticing everyones seems to be showing 8-10 years life expectancy! Not exactly got mine in the position of main HDD yet... waiting for Lion to be released for that. Here we go anyway: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltecXP Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 How can some of us have over 30% wear in under 1 year but still last over 10yrs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XIII Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I think the program calculates based on your usages during the time the program was installed. If the wear happens long before the program was installed (like when you install the OS, copy and delete a lot of files, etc...), then it will not be factored into the calculation. The program probably just use a very simple extrapolation calculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knife Party Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 what does the value for 'powered on' mean? Is it bad, if so, how can I reduce it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XIII Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 That means how many times you power on and off a system. You can't reduce it. It's more like the mile number you put on a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cacoe Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Still going strong. I'm surprised, I've had it for about 6 months now. Surely, people who are scared of them wearing out are overly cautious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XIII Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 To be honest LOL, I think the controllers will crap out long before the flash is worn out. I had 3 SSD failed on me and most of the failures are controller-related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 3 SSD failed on me and most of the failures are controller-related. Any of them a vertex 2e? I've seen loads of people complain about this problem and I wondered, could it be related to your motherboard chipset or something? Or are they really just crap?

sweetham Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Still going strong. I'm surprised, I've had it for about 6 months now. Surely, people who are scared of them wearing out are overly cautious? FW Update to 1.32? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaffney Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I seen the guy in here who posted very low health and then a benchmark straight after. What I didn't learn on here is that running benchmarks lowers your drives speed and life and aren't really accurate. So don't run them, they write GB's of data in a very short period of time, SSD's the now aren't meant for reading and writing loads of data. Their better for installing an OS and programs.
