Is this amount of Data writen normal for a SSD?

I'm just saying, there are many unexpected things that chew through your SSD.

And while this may be old news, I don't see the Firefox bug fixed and the default save interval is still at 15 seconds. Idk about Chrome, I don't use it much.

If that was the case, paired with my amount of browsing, I'd be at 90TB by now. But I'm not...

If you are talking about he techreport test, the Samsung started to fail first. It started to have reallocated sectors after just 100TB written, way before any of the other drives actually.

It was the only TLC drive.

Why? Do you keep Firefox open 24/7?

Yeah, pretty much.

I don't use SSD, since I heard that SSD has a very limited time for writes. And every time, you write something, it erases whole piece and write again together with the new to storage. Tip also suggests us to leave 1/4 SSD space for temporary storage. Or trouble will come.
Tips also recommend us to leave SSD for OS, and HDD for programs and data.
If your data is OS data, then there is nothing to do.

A modern SSD can take well over 200Tb. Your traditional drive can only do about 50,000Gb so don't move any folders

Not sure how you figure that. HDDs are not really write-limited in any way shape or form. They are RUNTIME limited. SSDs are write limited, but it's so high it doesn't matter.

Agree

SSDs have good write endurance these days however, you can accelerate wear by doing a lot of writes when the SSD is mostly filled with data. This will limit how much the firmware can do with respect to wear leveling. Think about your free space being carpet that's walked on by foot traffic. The less of it you have, the more foot traffic will be on the smaller bit of carpet, over time that smaller area will wear faster because of how often it's used compared to a larger carpet that has more foot traffic spread out across it. If you only had 10GB free but, you wrote 1TB over it, you would be pretty pushing those blocks pretty hard.

tl;dr: SSDs are resiliant if you're not an idiot with it. In other words: Don't fill it to capacity and you'll be fine.

My Sammy 850Pro 512GB has written 3.36TB, I have calculated it should last about 90 years to get to the 300TBW......

It will probably fail someday after the 10 years warranty I have. :ohwell:

We'll see how long it lasts.

my daily work drive,

after about 5 years

The SSDs in my RAID-0 over the last 5 years is very similar except fewer writes and more reads... for each SSD that is:

Just from my experience. I've wore out a few HDD.

I dont even wanna know how many TB my intel 510 had written, its been doing a great job being NAS cache drive for 3yrs now :fear:

What programs you guys using to read the write or read cycles of your SSDs.

Most 850 Pro's run till 1PB. At least 2TB ones that were tested. 2TB SSD drives probably won't be relevant anymore when that time comes XD

5-10GB/hour. Users reported it chugging through TBs in days, which is pretty bad. Something about strange database stuff, it got worse with larger playlists iirc.

Anyway, I have 4TB written in 13 months, with several Windows installs. I don't do much beyond music, browsing, VM (which are on HDDs) and RDP though.
