It almost feels like you were listening in to my antics, just yesterday I was wondering how much it'd take to kill a SSD and was getting skeptical over my drives having 10-20 TBW, thank you! 300+ days of testing, crazy effort.
Thanks for the data gathered, I admire your time and dedication. I'm around 40, near 50 TB, and I was worried that I was reaching that 75TB too fast but it's been 5 years with this 850 EVO, so alll good.
yeah I write ruffly 50GB per day, that's 1.5TB per month my SSD has a 300tbw rating for 5 years, that's about 91TB in 1825 days
I have a 840 brother, i will plug it back in and check the stats for you. (I have a 860 evo and 970 evo plus now). Last I remember i was still at 400-450mb read, not sure for write
@@SkylineFinessehow many data in average do u write per month or day?
@@jirehla-ab1671 in a couple months one of new drives is over 4.5
Excellent video! I find it fascinating to see how much endurance SSD's actually have before they can't write anymore. I never knew a 32GB SSD would hit over 200 TBW because every chart says 128GB SSD = 70 TBW, 256 has 128 TBW and 1 TB has 600 TBW rating. It's good to know those charts are completely under-estimating their true TBW.
What a brilliant video. This deserves a few mill views
Underrated video, great job 👏🏻
Yeah, I was worried how long my SSD in my phone would stay good because I have to constantly delete cache and redownload apps.
thats some serious dedication there, a year 😮
This video is amazing. It's so informative. I've had all these questions in mind for years and you've just answered them. I have a Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB. I bought it in 2016. I've written 12 TB on it. Ssd life says that it's at 95 %
health. The official TWB is 65TB.
Worst Kingston model im currently worried about the wear indicator
I tested a 2-TB 970 EVO plus. 2100 TB written so far! These things are durable!
Huge respect to you sir...I just bought samsung evo 860 500gb after watching ur work
Nice video. Can you make QLC SSD endurance test? I cannot find such test you made but for QLC drive, nowhere
These sadly will last like shit, not worth it.
You promised us an endurance test on the Silicone Power SSD.
Man this video is underrated
Guys, there is a fact, THIS WAS A DRAM-LESS SSD just imagine how long It Will take to kill a high endurance rating SSD like a Crucial MX500 or a Samsung 860 EVO.
ANAZING.
I still use an MX100 256 GB as my main disk, 60TB writes, looks like it can stay for a while longer.
Nice. how long have you been using it?
@@monara97 I just replaced it with an MX500 500GB last month because I ran out of storage.
@@HallonRubus lol you replied after a year man 😂
I've got 4 Crucial SSD's in RAID 0 as a scratch disk, it's been about a year and i've written 40TB to them apparently, with a rated life remaining of 85%
It's more likely that I'll swap them out for a m.2 array instead of any of them dying
Very interesting results though with the amount of data you managed to write, and when they slowed down!
Ssds generally very reliable at keeping data stored and normally have 2-3 layers of ECC to make data that is unreadable readable
The amount of low level ecc that goes on in a TLC or QLC ssd is very transparent and norm does not log a smart event (low voltage cells and auto data refresh) unless it had to use actual ecc error recovery correction data to get the data to read (norm That's when a cell has become a problem and has to be remapped but unlike a hdd the data is normally still read accessible as ssds tend to have cell problems on writes not reads so when a write fails it marks that page as bad and then writes the data elsewhere and moves all data in that page block elsewhere using spare block)
Did you check the data integrity though? It might have become unreliable before it hit 210TB as well.
Normal users can hit a few TBs every year just by downloading content and constantly deleting it.
@Milton Keenes Same, I rarely delete files on my 1 TB SSD. It has 500 GB written on it total, most of which was directly copied from my hdd I upgraded from. I am more worried about my phone storage, since I only have 64 GB (no micro SD slot) which is almost full and I clean cache etc.
Hey bro, I think you made a mistake by testing TBW rating using only small capacity. You should test it using file that has 80% of its capacity.
There is one little thing called SLC Cache which commonly use in SATA SSD, if you only test it using less than 10% of its original capacity..uhmm forget it bro, you'll only test a SLC SSD which has 100 thousand P/E cycle, probably gonna take years before it started to die.
TLC normally only have 2-3000 P/E cycles. So there you go..
But if you test it properly by filling it till 80% capacity and also try data integrity test then good luck.
Oh yeah.. there is one more problem, windows file system (NTFS) and any other file system usually behave kind of funny when you use more than 80% capacity.
Thumbs up, really admire your dedication in this video.
my 860 evo 500gb has 2.5 tbw i bought it 2 years ago
How do you check TBW ?
Once you get beyond 300-400TB written is where TLC based ssds start to maybe develop problems (generally irrespective of spec endurance) also dramless based have main problem with write amplification as they lack dram to handle the page table and wear leveling information in real time so drive needs to be idle for it to perform them tasks so 200TB written seems OK
Other ssds may have better data redundancy and making sure that data stays intact
I like crucial ssds in the mx line that has the RAIN feature to go beyond just ecc to rebuild data that it can't access, the mx300 was the odd ball as was the only crucial ssds on ebay that had lots of failing indecators in smart with rain been triggered and write and read errors been logged (so I just avoid mx300 second hand or even new due to how many used to be sold on ebay had some sort of problems on them) good to know the bx500 can last as long as a Samsung 840 Pro (admittedly going super slow towards halfway)
Really informative. I'm going for MX500 1TB
appreciate your efforts
You are a very good SSD Teacher 👍👍👍 i like being you 👌👌👌
This is a really interesting video for tech guys like myself and others. I am sorry if I missed it, what software do you use to check the use history of your drive. And will it work with a hard drive and flash drive?
HDD sentinal
But really 200TB written to a 32gb TLC probably reclaimed used nand and dramless ssd is actually very good really, as smaller ssds have less endurance then larger ssds as the nand is physically larger so 64gb ssds can take 2x the total writes a 32gb and so on for 120gb 250, 500gb
Burning out a ssd is norm not a problem but as last post 400tb on smaller ssds is the spot where you might encounter actual data loss errors with TLC sdds
Not sure how detailed your logs was for smart and if you was doing write fill and verification tests to see if it's able to verify the data wasn't been corrupted
Nice Vid
I've had my 1TB SX8200 PRO for what 6 months now, it's around 20TBW already and I haven't been writing to it that much, I've had a few games installed on it, a few premiere projects, some other stuff...
I've had a few SSDs over the years, I've never even come close to hitting the manufacturer's rated TBW, much less the "hard fail" point which is usually several times more. SSDs usually get obsolete or relegated to other roles long before that. I don't take any particular care to avoid writes either.
That being said I've never had a hard drive fail on me either; had various sizes and models from Seagate and Western Digital, never a failure.
Miss your videos mate
I had a sandisk flash drive write-protect itself one time during a trip, no fun for that to happen while you're editing
great vid !
my HDD has 705GB written so far. its 6 yrs old rn
my SSD is 50 minutes old, already wrtten 750 GB.
@Milton Keenes Samsung 870 QVO 1 TB. Actually copied windows 10 from another system image.
@@yashsvidixit7169 lol. yeah these stuff depend on our workload. my C drive (SSD) is about 2 years old now and it just reached 2TB. but health is dropped to 80% :P anyways it was pretty cheap and still its fast as new.
To destroy SSD's, randomly turn the power off while they are being written to. They should die within a 100 goes.
been using this laptop for the better part of a year now... 3tb written. wow
Pls check ur old Samsung evo 840 with hdd sentinel how many errors or health level does it have?
How many years would the bx500 that you tested last if i only play games on it. Gta5 to be specific and i play it up to 8 hours a day?

Please Review kingdian s370 256gb
Thanks man !!
Should I worry about the ps5 and Xbox x ssd drive? They are solider onto the mother board.
Yup, it will be the heat that will get to those SSDs before the writing constantly.
@@copperbackpack2025 the Xbox has problems with heat the ps5 don't have SSD problems
It took a month just compiling and testing Windows PE on a Samsung 860EVO ... Dead at 3.8 TB Written... When they start to slow down the wear is exponential. replaced with a WD Raptor
u might have had a faulty SSD
kingdian s370 256gb Review
Wow amazing video I just search for this, now just looking any crazy’s to kill m1 ssd 256gb haha
have written 5tb in 10 days with my WD 1TB SN550 this is my first SSD I don't want to kill it but I also don't want to be afraid to use it. anyone know what the endurance is. I know the warranty says 600 TBW but what can I really expect?
You can expect at least the triple of this value according to majority of endurance tests.
whats the software i want to test a few ssd's
hdd sentinal
Using cheap Chinese ssd called zheino 256 gb for a year now only one time my OS crashed otherwise working normally but yeah speed now decreased but still working good but can be dead any time because hdd sentinel already gave me warning 6 months ago so beware and backup your important data somewhere
Some modern consumer SSDs, including M.2s, are rated for a small number of TBWs. Anyone tending to do a lot of media recording best avoid those.
Any Particular model as example?
Try to kill Samsung Drive!
