so they made four quad cells perform like one single cell incredible

Now we will have large volume with acceptable speed and price... The last problem is still lifespan. A step in the good way.

Lifespan hasn't been a problem with ssd's since the first OCZ ssd's 🙂 Enteprise is buying enteprise, if they want "unlimited" writes. Desktop, there is almost no way to use all the writes, even on QLC ssd's. IF you are using up all the writes on a QLC ssd, you bought the wrong SSD. Simple 😉 I'm using Optane 900/905p for all my pc's for OS and programs. I don't use it for the insane writes, but for the 4k random read @QD=1. I will never downgrade to a normal ssd for OS/programs. Optane is just too good for my use.

Epic news, this is more exciting to me than ultra fast nvme drives because speed in real life scenarios does not provide the benefits one can expect. Regarding life span, OCZ Agility 3 that bought in 2011 has outlived 4 PC builds and still working to this day in an office as a boot drive. Smart test reports high level of degradation but it's fine 🙂 hopefully I didn't jinx it Reflecting on HDD's that I used for over ten years, they were getting slower, louder and all I wanted is to throw them away as soon as possible 🙂

It's not due to a brand, entreprise or not, but to the type of NAND used SLC, MLC, TLC or QLC (from fast/reliable/small volume/expensive to the oposite). For entreprise you use SLC or MLC, for home all other... On top of that some company consider that TLC and QLC are MLC (as the M mean Multiple, T triple and Q quad) it's half lie... but still a lie as for a pro use you will found their limit earlier than a real MLC(exemple: latest Samsung Pro) For home use TLC is fine, but i think QLC is flirting too much with the limit (already destroyed some in heavy use)... The good point of QLC is that they make price go down, and made realistic to move from a HDD 4to to SSD 4to for (relatively of course) not too much...

The trade-off from TLC to QLC is too big to use in daily application, but perfectly reasonable for backup storage. For everyday usage you want something that can last at least until you need more space or can upgrade for more speed. Storage doesn't need as much write cycles, as most of the time it will be siting quiet.

People that need mlc or the write performance, know what they need to buy. People that don't need it, are maybe more stupid and buy ssd's because of the high sequential read on the package....

Well if they don't need it they may not be very informed but buying on price isn't stupid. Sometimes being uninformed works out just fine.
