Hey guys,

Curious how many Terabytes you have written to your SSD!
I have an Intel G2 80GB. So far I am at 3.78TB according to the "Host Writes" S.M.A.R.T. attribute available for viewing with the Intel SSD Toolbox.
I think most of it is because I was running my bittorrent client, which has a memory leak, and I left it running even though it used up all my free RAM and proceeded to use 9GB of my pagefile! SSD access was intense and this is probably was caused the large value, but I don't care! My system was nice and responsive despite having no free RAM. I kept it this way for days just because I wanted to see how far I could go.. I was running out of free space on the SSD for expanding the page file size!

Drive is still 100% reliable, 3 reallocated sectors.



How much have you written to your drive without failure(post if large # of reallocated sectors)? Any manufacture of SSD but if you have over 12TB you should post if it was an SLC or MLC or hybrid SLC/MLC type.

Mod edit: SSD Life can show how much has been written on the drive:

I am kind of glad the Western Digital SiliconEdge Blue doesn't keep track... that thing was brutalized before we adjusted our tests from HDD-specific to SSD-compatible.Its probably in the 20-30TB written range, and still chugging along fine in a desktop. MLC Samsung NAND in that.

I actually don't know if there's a way to tell on my MBA or not...I would be curious to see though.

6,12TB on the 160GB Intel X25-M G2 with 18 reallocated sectors in my desktop.

Will post info from a few more SSDs around here when if i can extract any meaningful numbers. Do you know any way to get write-info from MTRON SLC drives or OCZ Revo drives? (I can 'guesstimate' but it would be nice to be precise).

Err, I voted 1-3 TB, but that is for each of my three Intel G2 80GB SSD drives in my RAID 0 array. Perhaps I should have voted 8-11 TB instead?

One of the drives has a single re-allocated sector. Media wear out indicator is 98% for all drives with +-10,768 power on hours (my system is on 24/7).

I should re-install the Intel SSD Toolbox to check...

Ok, X25-M G2 160GB in use for a little over a year in my primary desktop is at 3.35TB of host writes.

I have some others here that are much higher in use, but those systems generally only have the SSD or SSD + external disk, whereas my primary desktop has much larger disk space for bulk storage.

No, stay with 1-3TB. Poll is per drive

Finally got around to checking my drives:
x-25 80gb: - 1.55TB. power on hrs: 8996
x-25 160gb: - 234GB. power on hrs: 20
intel 310 80GB: - 86GB. power on hrs: 700

Obvously the x25 80gb is the oldest. the 160 is in my laptop which stays off most of the time. the other 2 run 24/7

Intel X25-M G2 160GB
- In use about a year (not quite yet, maybe 10mo)
- Browser profiles/caches do not write to SSD (redirected to Ramdisk)
- Host Writes: 5.14 TB
- Power-on Hours: 7298
- Re-allocated Sector count: 0
- Media Wearout Indicator: 0

Working good so far (*knock on wood*).
