Posted August 16, 2014 Author You should always have a backup of any important data on an SSD. Is a 5 year warranty instead of 3 worth paying twice as much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 17, 2014 I'm saving up for an intel 730 series 480GB SSD Because I actually care about my data. To need 480 GB you must have a lot of data. You should always have a backup of any important data on an SSD. Is a 5 year warranty instead of 3 worth paying twice as much? Agreed with backing up and personally I don't see a 5 year warranty worth it for twice the price. Most people upgrade every 3 years anyways. After that I just throw my parts into some side machine for whatever other thing I want. Upgrading my main machine now with some other spare parts and turning it into a media pc.

Posted August 17, 2014 To need 480 GB you must have a lot of data. Not really. I have 70GB free on my current 240GB SSD But I want extra space in case I need it in the future. Also larger SSD = longer life because it has more nand flash.

Larger drive = more nand flash to begin with. Does it state specifically anywhere that they have more nand flash per GB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 17, 2014 Larger drive = more nand flash to begin with. Does it state specifically anywhere that they have more nand flash per GB? Not per GB, but overall. A 480GB SSD will have 2x the nand of a 240GB SSD So If I only use 240GB of a 480GB SSD, it will last me 2x longer than just a 240GB SSD The way the write cycles are worn out is spread across all the chips, and having 2x more chips to wear out will make the drive last 2x longer.

Posted August 17, 2014 Visa promo -10% I wish I knew about this a few hours ago. i tried it. you have to apply for a visa card. didnt work sadly Space Journal #1: So Apparently i was dropped on the moon like i'm a mars rover, in a matter of hours i have found the transformers on the dark side of the moon. Turns out its not that dark since dem robots are filled with lights, i waved hi to the Russians on the space station, turns out all those stories about space finding humans instead of the other way around is true(soviet Russia joke). They threw me some Heineken beer and I've been sitting staring at the people of this forum and earth since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crucial drives have pretty much legendary life spans from what I've seen. Most drives these days can last up to 10 years, but I doubt you'll be using the same SSD after 5-6 years, unless you retire it for backup storage. Linux "nerd".

Posted August 18, 2014 I'm saving up for an intel 730 series 480GB SSD Because I actually care about my data. I'm more worried about my mechanical HDD dying than my 840 EVO. So far I've written 1.59 TB to it in about 8-9 months, So if I say 2TB per year with a lifespan of 100TB (which is probably an underestimation) it'll last me 50 years. ~non cogito, ergo non sum?~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
