I did read about pseudo SLC. Sure it lasts much longer and is faster to read/write, but you're losing 3x the space. For most people, once cells can no longer hold 3 bits, then the drive isn't usable. Unless manufacturers can convince people that it's natural for the disk to shrink in size as it...
Heh, I did think that was too good to be true. Thanks for clearing that up.
So that means when using TLC as SLC, you're spreading the writes over 3 times the # cells. That's a write amplification factor of 3x ! Terrible. Then when you flush to TLC, that's 4x.
I saw a quote of 3D TLC NAND having...
I suspect the actual write cycles are much better than what is advertised due to the huge SLC caches. The 980 PRO has ~114 GiB of it. If your writes have good locality (e.g. you write to the same location over and over), then only the SLC will get used. Consider a 980 PRO, which has an endurance...
Apparently many people are disappointed by the loss of write endurance. That doesn't affect me.
I just want to know from a speed perspective, are those gains actually achievable in real world apps?
I've studied the benchmarks on Anandtech's excellent review, and the most disappointing thing is...
