Tricks to extend your SSD lifespan?

Sometimes you'll get a unit that's going to fail no matter what you do, and for most normal use cases you'll almost never reach even close to the manufacturer TBW spec before you replace them, or something else happens to them. I use WD Red SN700 NVMEs. They have 5100TBW according to specs, in pract

Why dram cache in the storage

It’s about latency. For our use case, low latency is great. Somewhere on the order of below 300 us (micro-seconds) measured with ioping. My drives are below 150. This matters for attestations, and even more so for sync committees. A good drive that uses TLC and has DRAM is often not significantly mo

πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ &πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ [Advice] UGREEN NASync DXP2800 setup for photo/video β€” better use SSDs for cache or scratch?

ok, here is some llm magic - sounds logical for me at least: Short answer: 1TB as read-only cache, 250GB as independent scratch volume Your 1 Gbps network is your actual bottleneck, not storage. This fundamentally changes what makes sense. Why your network matters more than you think Your IronWolf P

First NAS Setup

SSD cache is pretty useless unless you have a lot of users accessing many small files. There are a few YouTube videos on the topic, showing it makes barely any difference outside of that use case. You also don't really need an nvme drive at all since you're using SSD's as the main drives. And the 99

What 4TB M.2 NVMe SSD do you recommend for QNAP TVS-h874 NAS? I am upgrading from a 2TB Samsung SSD 980 PRO with Heatsink.

980, 990 pro? No. Something suitable for NAS use, like the WD Red SN700 + heatsink.

How do you preserve longevity of your SSDs?

First of all, I gave up on ZFS for this very reason. First of all, ZFS itself does not cause write amplification. Wrong pool geometry (RAIDZ instead of mirror), changing volblocksize does. Maybe CoW a little bit (ZIL). But that is all negligible in a home setup. Home use here, so it is what it is. I

10% wear on a new mini-PC SSD after 2 months – is this normal?

A WD Red SN700 would suffice, PLP drives don't always work in these low cost minis, as it require more AMPS, maybe the slot wouldn't provide enough. Even SN700 is rated 2.8A and may have problems if the slot is low quality, I had these problems with NUCXi7 from Minisforum and Chuwi RZBOX, only worke

ME mini - high temperatures on idle

Isn't that quite good? The SN700 is an enterprise class drive that is built for areas with plenty of cooling, they're known to get quite hot. Here's a quote from a review on Serve The Home: The WD Red SN700 1TB runs hot, very hot. During my thermal test the drive reached 80C, at which point I was a
