Hello,
As per title, we are in a dispute more or less with a retailer that supplied half-size m-sata ssd's. These are 32gb MLC SSD's, with 3000 p/e cycle limit.
Is it as simple as 32gb * 3000 = 93,75TB? How much writes can we use effectively on this SSD?
Because the manufacturers tooling shows values between 5000-6000 (depending on the specific example) ''average erase count'' out of 3000 (P/E Cycle limitation) on SSD's after a year of use.
We don't write anywhere near 90 TB per year (more like ~0.9tb/year in the worst case, let alone 180TB)...
EDIT: I can see Write amplification is a factor, how do you calculate/establish the write amplification?

. (OR well I'm not sure about model/brand #2, because we don't have tooling yet to read all the SMART Values yet. Tools like SSDlife are useless because they don't recognise the both the SSD's.)
