Hello,

I have tried finding tests and actual "intend to destroy" SSD drives. There seems to be 3 kinds of NAND menory they put in, but actual scientific data on how they survive eludes me.

I have to swap a Kingston V300, which after just 10TB of movement of data has started acting up. I have read everywhere about how great Samsung EVO drives are, but I have yet to find any reliable facts to actually back it up. I have read about Crucial and Corsair actually makes great SSDs, but other than that, it has been opinions, not actual data.

Does anyone know if such data exsist?

Thank you in advance.

I'm not sure if this will help you or not, they're not the most recent drives and only a limited sample. It might give some sort of idea though.

Many people are happy with their samsung evo's and the samsung pro might be a heartier drive. It's also more expensive. The drives in that test, many went past 60x the writes yours did. Hard to say for sure, there's always chance of a one off early drive failure. Usually when an ssd fails it bricks making data recovery hard if not nearly impossible. Of course when people run into pc issues, often times a reboot is in order though as stated in that review that can trigger an ssd from read only access to bricked.
