The SSD Endurance Experiment: Two petabytes
For some reason my SSDs have never lasted very long. Ive been using consumer grade SSDs since 2009 and among those which failed are a SuperTalent Ultradrive 128GB, Intel X-25M and Crucial M400. Now i use a Samsung 840 Evo which is actually a replacement since the first one died after just a couple of weeks.<p>Granted i am a poweruser with a lof of small writes because of software development related activities, but it still strikes me that everyone else is of the impression that SSDs last forever. Certainly not my experience. The story is similar for a couple of my buddies.
