The opinion that SSDs are not viable, it is a myth – Computerworld


 
 
 Company Tech Report recently conducted a test that proved that appear here and there about the fact that SSDs can suddenly go wrong (which of course irretrievable data loss) to include in the myths.

The company tested without breaks through the full twelve months of six SSD (Corsair Neutron Series GTX 240 GB Intel 335 Series 240 GB Samsung 840 Series 250GB Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB drives and two Kingston HyperX 3K 240GB), in an effort to test their viability . Four discs “died” after saving them a total of 728 TB to 1.2 PB of data, which is a lot, but it’s much more than provide them attached to the technical specifications. Two more SSD – Samsung 840 Pro and Kingston HyperX 3K – continue to run trouble-free after one year and after saving them more than 2 PB of data.

Therefore, Tech Report concludes. Considering the fact that most users of PCs equipped with SSD writes to them for a year let’s say 2 TB of data, they should not preoccupy our heads all the stories about how devices are unreliable and there is nothing to trust them. Before SDD drive reaches the end of its possibility (of course, we are talking all the time about its life), it may take ten or more years, and to this point the computer probably already going to be scrapped.

Returning to test drive that “fell” after writing on it for about a year until 728 TB of data was produced by Kingston (model HyperX 3K). After he refused to obey the Intel drive (model 335, after saving a total of 750 TB of data). Was followed by the Samsung 840 drives (more than 1 PB of stored data) and Corsair Neutron GTX (over 1.2 PB of recorded data.)

The test still continues, and two further discs are operational (Samsung 840 Pro and Kingston HyperX 3K). Tech Report says that after the completion of the test (each of these drives yet refuses obedience at some point after saving the next few hundred TB of data, perhaps – that Wersk optimistic – even a few PB) post on a website document, which describes the event.
