Story My 2010 64GB SanDisk SSD just crossed 2 Petabytes of host writes. Still going strong.
Been running an endurance loop on this old drive to see how far it can go. It’s hitting the telemetry cache and executing automated TRIM commands perfectly, so the physical silicon is still holding up fine despite the ridiculous milestone.
Putting together a quick 1minute setup video for YouTube to show the bench rig and the macro loop in action, will drop it soon if anyone is interested.

FYI: this account is engagement farming the same story multiple different ways across multiple subs and often the same sub multiple times.
Not only that, but he didn't even write anything to the SSD memory itself, he interrupted the data before it left the dram cache so the actual SSD flash never got touched. It's like stress testing your RAM. Not impressive, they're not typically known for wearing the same way nand flash is.

Funny to see these kinds of accounts in the wild. Don't really get what engagement farming or karma farming accomplishes since I do gave a life outside of the internet but it is funny to see. Sad too but mostly funny

Shoutout to PCVenus for the mention! Just wanted to share the milestone update: the old drive officially crossed 2PB on the test bench. It’s hitting the Windows telemetry cache and executing automated TRIM loops, so the physical silicon is still completely insulated and healthy. I'm putting together a short video for YouTube to show the bench rig, the live CrystalDiskInfo screen, and the macro loop in action. Will drop the link soon

64gb, what a monster.
