Hey all, I have both 250GB and 256GB drives of Samsung 840 Evo and the Toshiba Q Series. I'm going to have to return one and wanted to know which one to return? You might say the Toshiba but I still had one concern with the Evo...
I know that the Evo is TLC and the Toshiba is MLC flash. Even so, I was going to keep the Evo but after restoring a clean image (a second time) the "Total Bytes Written" on the Samsung Magician Software went from 0.06TB to 0.16TB.
Endurance testing on the 840 TLC shows it goes up to 242TB of writes. I'm already at 0.16TB, I can picture this number going up with large transfers to/from my external storage.
Should I be concerned and instead keep the Toshiba?
