1.8tb written on 850pro

[MaccaB]

So I bought a used 850 pro 512gb from ebay for 65 bucks and I installed Samsung Magician and it told me that I have 1.8tb written. Does it mean that it was used a lot and whats the TBW of this drive

if you have the Samsung 850 Pro with sata connection the total "warrantied" data writing is 300TB

Should I be worried ?

Well depending on how long the previous owner had it for is how heavily it was used. Though it is still in the early stages of its life. The following article gives you an idea of ssd TBW before failure.

no, that means you have 298.2TB left to write on this drive.

that should be enough for a while

1.8TB is nothing

512GBx3.515625=1.8TB

So your drive was fully overwritten only 3.5x

btw that is the guaranteed amount, you may even get i bit more out of it but then a backup is a good idea.

Whats the limit then?

300.000gb /512gb = 585.9375 times you can totally write the disk full

Unless your using it as a nas drive for the coming 10 years and formatting it every month, your not going to hit that limit soon

At the very least at least 100 full rewrites even with one of the worst TLC SSDs but likely at least 500+ with this drive.

You will have around 298TB of writes still available on the drive.

2 TB really is not much. i Have one 850 Evo 250 at 53 TB Written, a 850 500 GB model at 27 TB written, and another 500 Gb model at around the same. You will not notice anything bad until 300, and even then its just a slight slowdown. Tests have shown these can get into the Petabytes before failure.

It depends on your usage, we can't say how you are using it.

It could be 48GB a day but when you download for example GTA5 on it it is 90gb for the game.

My 850 Evo 500GB has 7.7TB written and it's probably like 3 years old, It's not a system drive though.

we cannot tell you your usage because we don't know how you are going to use it.

No, because it is in fact very little. My SSD has 18 TB written and that is not even much
