whats the ssd type?

[Agent181]

Whats the ssd type that has the slow down issue and the different types of ssd... tlc, mlc...etc?? im getting 9 ssds soon for work and im going to school in a week so im not going to be there if anything happens... dont want a slow down for the servers they are going into.

Get MLC for endurance

better yet, pick up some Intel 530 - they are legendary

pretty much all consumer ssd's will get murdered by servers so it doesn't matter.

agreed, ssds lifespans drop when hammered.

 

mine dropped 2% lifespan within a month from moving stuff etc, since then its only gone down another 1% and thats within like 6 months.

they wont be used that much at all just storing data... they will be mostly idle for a long time but they want speed so its perfect for them... the most heavy usage will be the backups from the ssds and thats not that much

is that the sme flash type that the 840 evos had??

840 EVO had some fraked up TLC, if you pardon the expression.

A lot of "budget" SSDs use TLC flash and for the most part it is fine, Samsungs specific implementation on 840 EVO was bad and it was the only known model to experience data loss problems.

 

MLC uses two bits per cell

TLC uses three bits (or more) per cell

the more write to the cell the faster the cell wears out and "dies", since TLC has more bits per cell then you will inherently write more often to the same cell thus wearing it out sooner compared to MLC in the same environment. And that makes MLC more expensive as you have to have more physical cells for the same capacity of the drive

If you are considering an SSD based server then look for MLC flash only and honestly you shouldn't be looking any further than Intel 530

 

Also should be noted that frequent reads do not harm the flash, however writes do.

For hard drives both reads and writes harm the same way

ahhh I see and for just simple use with not that much use what ssd should I tell them to use... there are 4 pcs that are slow as hell and well take 4 mins to boot... it use to be 8 when they had xp on it but I made sure everything is at least windows 8....

For the third time I recomend Intel 530 SSD (:

 

And why the hell people measure computer performance by boot times? You only have to boot once...

ok ok I get you getting 9 530's for the server or maybe 27 ssds... they are opening up a new office to add to the 3 existing...

 

For the normal pcs I dont want to buy them ssds they wont use at all I will be getting a 730 ssd for sure for the graphic design pc but for the rest they dont need something that is too expensive all they care about is fast boot and speed so thats why im asking about it....

 

I know there is a lot more than just boot times but for them thats all they think about it

Make them put the computer to sleep instead of shutting down or do hibernate.

I tried telling them already but the head IT guy there goes around and turns off every pc... he almost killed a server that way but im not in charge

its alright, im just an intern doing data entry.... -___-

[NumLock21]

Enterprise SSD uses SLC because they're the best out of all the type of nand memory, but they are also the most expensive.  For the work place, grab some Intel SSDs, like others had mentioned a 530.

Oh I though you were asking what the bad ssd was lol
