Especially if you leave it on all the time or over night.įrom what I have read, wear ratings are numbers that are set for warranty purposes and pretty much guarantee trouble free usage to that level.

That's still a lot of writes for 1 day, 5~10GB if you ask me. They go by an average saying a user will do 5~10GB a days worth of writes on a SSD if they spend a lot of time working on it throughout the course of a day. I personally would read/write torrents to a mechanical drive personally to save wear & tear on the SSD, but in no means would you kill the drive by torrenting on it, unless you're doing 40GB a day like I said, lol. MLC drives might have a better life span. Can't say for other SSD's this is a math theory based on reviews and tests on Samsung V-NAND TLC technology. That would prob be the end of the drive, if it lasted its full 75~90TB write cycles. The 250GB EVO's have a failure rate of 75~90TB writes. Especially if you leave it on all the time or over night.īut I mean Samsung gets its cycles like this, say your DLing 40GB a day, in 30 days thats 1.2TB.
