I know it's a new and entirely different drive, but here is a section on SSD endurance (of the new Samsung 840 EVO) analysis from Anand:
AnandTech | Samsung SSD 840 EVO Review: 120GB, 250GB, 500GB, 750GB & 1TB Models Tested
As you can see, the 120GB version of that drive is estimated to last almost 8 years with a higher than average write load. Assuming that you are using older and less durable technologies, how many years of usage do you suppose you can get out of an SSD drive?
For me, it isn't a number I'd be concerned about. I don't think my usage is that high at all, so the SSD will be more than enough to last me the life of the PC it is installed on. |
I'm still waiting for real world tests. Anything over 5 years is good... Anything under that and yes, I would be very concerned.
