How long will Kingston XS1000 SSD 2TB last?
What is the write / read of this SSD? I wonder if it's better than Samsung's T7 or T7 Shield.
The answer is ALWAYS 42!
I would not really worry about this. You can wear out an SSD but it this is an issue a normal user pretty much never encounters.
Consumer SSDs are a thing for over a decade now and I often check how much actual people use their drives as this is logged over SMART. Even rather dedicated users need about 1 decade to hit the TBW rating and this is just how much the manufacturer guarantees the drive can endure. In reality, you can expect at least 2x as much, even reports of 10x as much are nothing unheard of.
It is far, far more likely you will lose, damage, replace it with something faster or bigger long beforehand. Unless you use it eg for a high end camera to record on a daily basis.
So.. 90 GB files re-written at least twice a week is fine for a 1TB/ 2TB SSD?
I don't see if it's TLC or QLC or its rated TBW. Why not search up reviews of the SSD?
But reviews don't tell me how much I can write and delete.
There is no published TBW for the disk that I can tell. You'd have to ask Kingston. And even then most SSD's can write 10x the TBW without failure.
Time before failure is impossible to predict but these days, they'll last far longer than you'll likely use it for.
You’re right. It’s weird even on the official Kingston page and specification for the drive it doesn’t state the TBW.
Were you planning on writing 500GB/day? Usually these things have at least 72 TB TBW
Not really but sometimes when have too many photos and videos I tend to delete file and get a new file to the external hard drive the updated one where I know it's everything so I wonder if that could be issue 90-100GBs twice a week, once a week, maybe once a Month depends on situation too.
I read it's almost impossible to recover data from SSD, I'm just making sure about it all.
I’m paranoid about the unrecoverable data with SSD. It goes main drive, SSD external for quick access, portable HD and large external HD for backup.
