TBW table for different SSDs (M.2 2280)

[ecomorph]

I've gathered a table with the TBW of several SSDs available in my local market, maybe it's useful to some of you.

I've found it such a pain in the ass in general to find that info, that I just put it together myself for future reference.

Sorted by TBW (TB written, a metric for SSD endurance)

Sorted by price:

Hope it's useful, at least to avoid the worst offerings (looking at you, crucial P3 and corsair MP600), in case you care about drive endurance.

Nice work, but since this appears to be a spreadsheet, I would suggest sorting the drive names alphabetically as the 2nd criteria after the sort by tbw values...which would make it easier to follow IMHO, and perhaps attach the actual file, so others could share their input or adjust it for their own uses......just a thought from a fellow spreadsheet fan

And yea, I am not, nor have I ever, been a big fan of crucial's low-end/budget drives...especially when there are many other, better performing drives at the same or less $$

Sure thing, here it is sorted alphabetically:

Here's the sheet itself (read-only, but you can make a copy and add anything you want there):

TBW are roughed in legally required statements with no bearing on reality in most cases. This means separating marketing data from technical analysis that actually aids shopping decisions. There are enough cases of drive manufacturer vastly understating belief in their products to dismiss claims in either direction based on this single metric.

The better drives write an order of magnitude or four greater. The less great drives are so unreliable by half their stated limit it would be pointless to consider ability to write with ability to store or read or even be seen by OS.
