It will last at least three years, unless you have an extraordinary usage.

Assuming that the V+100 is based on 25nm flash (3,000 program/erase cycles), you get:

3,000 * 120GB = 360,000GB of total writes over its lifetime

Let's assume that the super aggressive garbage collection is rather bad and consumes 2/3 of the writes, leaving you with only 120,000GB of writes to be used as you wish. You need to write 108GB every single day to exhaust the SSD by the end of its third year. I believe it is safe to say you don't need to worry about its lifespan at all and may expect much more than a three year lifespan without changing your normal usage behaviour. nod.gif

On a side note and for reference, Anand (of AnandTech) observes that he used an average of 7GB of writes per day and that he was the heaviest writer within the people of AnandTech.

ah, thanks!!! amazing calcs!!! u r thumbup.gif n i m rclxub.gif

Need help, my Kingston V+100 128GB has been slowing down since i bought it about 2/3 months ago.

I'm using a MBP 2010 i5 running OSX 10.6.7.

I feel it slowing down because the spinning wheel on the startup page extended from 1/2 a round to 1.5 rounds (literally 3 times slower)..

please help smile.gif

Still happen after reformating OS
Could be due to hardware or software initialization at startup.
