Hi,

Is there any solution to change or convert Intel SSD DC S3510 1.6TB working mode from "Read Intensive" to "Mixed Use"?
I have some of these drives and I need to use them on "Mixed Use" mode

thanks

I don't know if it's possible.

I know that the 3X00 models use the intel CH29AE41AB0, but have different characteristics based on the firmware? Maybe some sort of crossflashing would be possible.

I think the main difference between read intensive & mixed used or even write intensive version is the amount of spare nand.
If you like to get more endurance off your SSD, you can short stroke it or overprovision the SSD.
Since we are talking about SATA ssd then from my previous research the best method is to configure HPA.
here's a good link with some guides
