Maximum writing cycle for RAM?

[gp92]

Hello,

 

as you guys all know, every SSD, or flash memory in general, comes with the maximum writing cycle per cell, after which the cell becomes unusable as a data storage medium.

 

I was wondering, does the same apply to RAM? That is, does random access memory cell become unusable after certain number of writing and rewriting?

 

Thanks in advance.

In theory, yes.

 

However, it takes a metric butt tonne of writes to kill a flash chip.

RAM is not flash storage and works quite differently. I think it does not wear out, because that would happen rather quickly if it did.

I have no idea to be honest, but that would be my guess ^

I believe the volatile nature of RAM helps aid it's longevity

In any case, they don't give you life-time warrenties on RAM for no reason

DRAM can handle an unlimited number of write cycles.
