there will be signs but it might be too late when you notice those. the better way is to store data in a separate physical disk, then performs regular data backups. monitor ssd/hdd health from time to time. (crystaldiskinfo can be very helpful in this case)
uh? don't worry about it haha my work involve running multiple vms that do various stuff (i need them to have sufficient iops for each, so that they can complete tasks faster)
there are a number of free sync tools, like freefilesync and cryptsync. (plenty more if you looked them up with search engines)
3d-tlc is said to be very close to planar-mlc in terms of endurance (nowadays it should be slc > 3d-mlc > planar/ 2d-mlc ? 3d-tlc > planar/2d-tlc)
these days, firmware in ssd is stable in general. however, shit does happen. just peek on the support page for new ones occasionally (better yet, use the tool that is provided by manufacturer to check it out for you)
The best method is to daily check for slow down and with crytalmark.There are some tools like to test ssd failure rate
http://mashtips.com/ssd-health-test-and-pe...-monitor-tools/, and for global is crystalmark ?
Don't know which vms you are mentioning.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VMS.So are you using windows for SSD ?
Thanks for the free sync tools
( slc > 3d-mlc > planar/ 2d-mlc ? 3d-tlc > planar/2d-tlc ) Thanks for the hierarchy.
There are quite a lot of manufactuerr and controller.Among all , trust able is samsung ? in comparison chart ? I read crucial mx500 using Silicon Motion.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_flash...r_manufacturershttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_solid...e_manufacturersWhere can I search for the support page as you mention ?
Normally , when you buy a SSD do you pick on which seller at shopee/lazada to buy ?
eg:
https://shopee.com.my/search?keyword=evo%20...ue&sortBy=priceThere are a bunch selling mx500 and evo 860 but don't know which I should choose
As for sata evo 860 or 850.I search both are the same performance.MX500 also the same with 3d-TLC.
What are the price range for them ? Search around is RM350-450 for 500GB but worrying choose the cheap come with lemon unit by seller.
Any reliable seller list ? Thanks
