NVME has 1% health, should be 26%, RMA?

[jak731]

Bought one of these earlier this year for a new system with the intention of doing some chia plotting and then using it afterwards as a system drive, based on the 1665TBW rating should have had 50% life remaining (was planning to do about 800TBW).

Ended up doing more with replotting for pooling, came in at 1220TBW, based on the advertised TBW it should have 26% life left, however SMART shows 1%. Worth trying to RMA?

What have you got to lose trying?

Patriot says 800TBW on the website. I think they might laugh you out the building, so to speak, but you can only try.

Maybe they changed the rating? I remember checking at the time. Tom's hardware has the higher rating too.

Could well be a waste of time, I'll see what OCUK says.

I think OcUK have the wrong endurance information for the drives as their numbers seem to match up with the VPR100 series:

VPN100-2TBM28H VPN100  2TB   M.2 2280 PCIe PCIe Gen 3 x4 1600 TBW 3 Years
VPN100-1TBM28H VPN100  1TB   M.2 2280 PCIe PCIe Gen 3 x4 800  TBW 3 Years
VPN100-512GM28H VPN100 512GB M.2 2280 PCIe PCIe Gen 3 x4 400  TBW 3 Years
VPN100-256GM28H VPN100 256GB M.2 2280 PCIe PCIe Gen 3 x4 200  TBW 3 Years

VPR100-2TBM28H  VPR100 2TB   RGB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 3 x4 3,115 TBW 5 Years
VPR100-1TBM28H  VPR100 1TB   RGB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 3 x4 1,600 TBW 5 Years
VPR100-512GM28H VPR100 512GB RGB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 3 x4 800   TBW 5 Years
VPR100-256GM28H VPR100 256GB RGB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 3 x4 380   TBW 5 Years

Of course Patirot could still have changed them at some point, i know some manufacturers did change their ratings off the back of Chia mining.

Maybe they changed the rating?

Or maybe the TBW has nothing to do with the endurance… yeah, it is.

Drives done really well if its rated at 800tbw. Goes to show there is some overhead.
