Thats a max, guys! no warranty that you will get that. That means an ssd with 512 gb and 750 cycles has an max. So in between this usage the ssd with tlc will fail after only 6-8 years! Normally an SSD can last at least 20 years. But there are only 187.5 Terabytes left, that could be written to the newer 20nm 750 cycles 512 GB SSD.Īnd now you have to consider, that yearly a normal person writes around 20-30 Terabytes (random writes are included in this)! So you take that 187.5 and divide it by 20-30, and there are only 6-8 years left. That means 750 Terabyte on an older, but good 25nm MLC 3000 Cycles-512GB-SSD. So now – just take half of that cause thats what real lifetime is. You can write around 1500 terabytes max at an 25nm MLC 3000 cycle 512 GB-SSD.īUT you can only write about 375 terabytes on an 20nm TLC 750 cycle SSD. VS 512 GB MLC (25nm) SSD => 3000 Cycles => Average lifetime Expectance when you use the full capacity.Īnd no – the more space an ssd it has the more you use, right? Or do you really buy an 512 GB SSD and then do not use the full capacity? That would make no sense at all. So let me calculate this: 512 GB TLC (20nm) SSD => 750 Cycles => Extreme short lifetime if you use the full 512 GB!

the full space of it), lifetime will be shorter.

So if you use more space of your ssd (e.g. And he has to consider that if the space is used more, the life expectancy is shorter.
