![]() ![]() ![]() One of the biggest life limiting factor is the amount of data stored. The problem is there is limited supply (reserve) of new cells. They do that by simply replacing the dead cells. However, do not panic, the drives have a self repair capability! ![]() and make the SSD boards with their name on it. The buy them from Semiconductor manufacturer like Samsung or Intel etc. Just to clarify, I am talking about the most common type of SSD (using the Single layer memory cells), the dual layer lasts even longer but it is much more expensive.Īpple, Crucial, OWC etc. ![]() That means it will last minimum 7-10 years, otherwise they would be out of business replacing all dead SSD's. For example Samsung gives 5 Years on the 840 model. It is really difficult to say who is the best, but one can use the warranty as a guide. To my knowledge, Intel is still the front runner on quality = life time, but Samsung is chasing them. There is difference in life (quality) of SSD's depending on manufacturer (Intel, Samsung etc.). With that said, looking closer at the SSD, it is a flash memory type semiconductor device and could develop leaking currents (means the cells lose their charge (memory). Some of us still have computers from year 2000 or even before, thus older than 14 years. SSD is a Semiconductor device built to last a minimum of 10 years. A simplified answer to SSD lifetime would be: ![]()
