Samsung rates their QVO (QLC flash) at about 0.36 DWPD for 5 years which works out to over 600 disk mean writes before failure. Even if we half that that's still easily 3x high end HDD's, with superior drive health monitoring and far superior recovery/rebuild performance. TLC Flash is 2-3 times higher than that, and exact endurance depends on the specific drive in question as there's more to endurance than single/dou…
>0.36 DWPD for 5 years so a mechanical drive running for ~40K hours with ~5% spend writing. >easily 3x high end HDD's how? high end HDD offer 2M MTBF, and with something like HGST 7K6000 you end up with pallet loads being retired at 50K hours run time 100% defect free. >superior drive health monitoring how?

The warranty says you only get 75 or 125 full drive writes on the two higher end 20TB drives I looked at.
I can't tell you why it's that low, but that's what it says.
> how? SSDs usually just die without any warning
Sometimes SSDs just die, sometimes they go read-only. Sometimes HDDs just die too. Do you have any numbers?
