on a side note… to calculate how much TBW one has written to their SSD on a Linux OS (after doing ‘sudo apt install smartmontools’ in terminal (I am using Linux Mint))… Conquer expectations The Crucial P5 combines 3D NAND and cutting-edge controller technology for fierce read/write speeds up to 3400/3000MB/s, pushing the limits of PCIe Gen 3 NVMe. My assumption is that “Vista-” means “Vista – current”. it’s what I installed in Windows 10 anyway and it worked. Reply Micron’s replacement gate architecture combines both charge traps with the company’s CMOS-under array technology, allowing for a 30% smaller die size when compared to competitors’ flash. When compared to the company’s previous-generation 96L TLC, the new replacement gate flash replaces the polysilicon gates with metal and takes advantage of a different etching method, resulting in greatly reduced cell-to-cell capacitive coupling issues, lowered resistance levels, and allows for increased program pulse ramping. All this works in unison to provide not only lower read and write latencies and boosted throughput, but also improved reliability and endurance.

Speaking of which, while the P1 leveraged a Silicon Motion SM2263EN NVMe controller and the P2 used Phison’s E13T, Crucial’s P5 features the company’s first, and quite beastly, consumer NVMe SSD controller. The controller interfaces with the host over a PCIe 3.0 x4 link and communicates via the NVMe 1.3 protocol. I find Crucial drives to be some of the best and they have a good reputation. That someone perhaps misinterpreted an acronym, or — more likely — there was a translation error from the original (probably Chinese), doesn’t concern me as much as it seems to concern you. The concept remains correct — it is Total Bytes Written, after all, measured in Terabytes. Reply There are a few reasons as to why Micron’s flash is some of the most responsive besides access to four planes per die. This floating gate NAND design is a bit more robust than charge trap designs as it has a lower charge spread which results in less read errors and ECC intervention as well, it has better data retention because of a more stable charge. Micron’s flash also features a tile-based floorplan design that is integrated with the CMOS under Array circuitry for better space efficiency and provides redundancy of elements within the tiles to allow for greater defect tolerance. That may be so for sequential but the Force series does not have the highest random read/write speeds out there...The information we’re looking for is Total Host Writes. In the case of my C: drive, I’ve written 18.5TB to the drive in the roughly two years I’ve owned the machine. That bodes well for the life expectancy of this drive if my usage pattern doesn’t change. A TBW of 600 with a usage rate of 9.25TB/year (half of the 18.5 I used in two years) would indicate 64 years of life left. Well beyond the calendar warranty of five years, and certainly longer than my machine — and I — are likely to be around. Very cool! My laptop shows 235 PB written, and 416 PB read …and its “health status” is still 99%. That’s impressive. I’m a little dubious that the “power on count” is only 399, but maybe it doesn’t count reboots or booting out of hibernation. Reply When I use Clonezilla to image my SSD (boot drive) occasionally I save a image to my regular hard drive about once every month or two. or on the occasion I might be doing something a bit more risky, ill make a Clonezilla image before I do it.
Crucial P5 Plus 2TB M.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe Internal Gaming SSD
SSDs are a form of flash memory. And flash memory wears out. That’s particularly important to understand when it comes to your USB flash drives: they won’t last as long as SSDs. Can a USB Thumb Drive “Wear Out”? A warranty is not a guarantee 1 Please define what “write” actually means. I assume that any time you create a Word document or an Excel file, each letter and or number that you key in constitutes a “write.” If I am wrong then please set me straight. Thanks for a great report! Reply I see three choices. The other ones appear to be just different skins for the same program under the hood. Reply Avro Arrow said:From what I've seen, nothing beats the Corsair Force NVMe drive. It has a read/write rating of 4950MBps/4950MBps. Of course, it only gets those speeds with PCI-Express 4.0 so ATM only AMD can really take advantage of it. Part-specific certification as required by China's Management Methods for Controlling Pollution by Electronic Information Products.Great article Leo. Have a 1TB SSD and have been using CrysYoutalDiskInfo for a while now. Must have heard it from you! You went on to explain the program well.

The Solid State Drive (SSD) Toolbox is an update utility that properly recognizes the SSD unit(s) installed on your system. It also displays various pieces of information regarding the connected storage devices and searches for a new suitable firmware version. Portable SSDs are a great way to boost your system. Learn more about the benefits of external SSDs, how they work and more, at Crucial I want comments to be valuable for everyone, including those who come later and take the time to read. Cancel replyThe drive also features Integrated Power Loss Immunity, but the SLC caching helps in many cases, too. The Dynamic Write Acceleration (SLC cache) works a little bit differently than most SLC caches we have come across in the past – Crucial built some new tech into the P5.
Great Deal
