I just ordered two Samsung 750 EVO 120GB
drives. They have a whopping 35TBW rated endurance. These drives are going to be sacrificed.
Here is the plan:
If there are any folks who manage large numbers of client PCs, I am looking for a solid data point in terms of average fill rate/ amount. Is the appropriate fill rate 100GB of 120GB, 80GB of 120GB or something else?
Feedback appreciated.
Here is the plan:
- Two drives, same system
- One drive filled to X% (simulate having an OS plus applications installed)
- Write to the drives and monitor status
- See if there is an appreciable difference between an empty drive and a partially full drive
- If we see both drives die at basically the same number of writes, then there is no difference, if they die at significantly different write levels, then we will have an answer.
