I only record to disk from the buffer on demand if I need to. For example, my 12 camera CCTV security system runs through this PC and the buffer for that needs a lot of fast writes that would permanently tie up either an NVMe (and burn through it's endurance like mad) or one of my RAID 0s, so I set up an 8 GB RAMDisk and run the buffer for all my feeds on that. When I need speed and don't want to burn write endurance on my NVMe drives, I use a RAMDisk. IMO, a RAID 0 of much larger and cheaper 128mb cache HDDs with ~350-380 MB/s of write speed is more than fast enough for even raw 4k video renders and the follow-up encodes. I also tend to do a lot of video rendering (3D modeler and animator), but I don't use my SSDs for it. I do a lot of video editing on it too, a lot of exported videos are 5-10gb. I try to keep only the OS and a couple games with slow loading times on it. Which makes me even more nervous about it. It's my TV, work station, entertainment, pretty much everything. From what I read it's about 6 years with normal use, but I never shut my computer off. I've had it for a year now, give or take a few weeks. I wasn't aware there's software for that, I'll have to check it out. Originally posted by Ancient:Does your drive's software track it's write endurance? Unless yours was a very early model with low-quality NAND/VNAND chips, the drive's capacity will likely be obsolete long before you actually wear out it's write endurance. It's advertised to have 400 TB of write endurance, so at this rate of 25TB per 3 years, it ought to last me until. My Samsung drives have a counter for it: īought that one in February 2017. Losing a drive and everything on it is one of my worst nightmares because I'll then have to spend weeks trying to figure out everything I lost, to try and get it back.ĭoes your drive's software track it's write endurance? I really need to clone it to an HDD backup. I've racked up a whole boatload of extra charges on my cable bill from exceeding my bandwidth limits installing and uninstalling games so much. I try to leave at least 100gb free which means I can only fit one or two games on it. I understand that everyone has different opinions on this, but I don't like to take chances with my hardware. It's a good idea to leave a little free space. Originally posted by Cthulhu_1988:Just so you know it's not a good idea to completely fill an SSD up.
