Interesting, it would have been even more so had the various images been loaded.
One thing which did strike me - apart from the fact that all drives comfortably met their stated endurance levels is that when drives die they becomes inaccessible with a âone chance then youâre out of luckâ attitude to data recovery.
Thankfully my two 8TB 870 QVO drives hve only had a total of about 12TB written so should have quite some lifetime left in practice.

Well, I didnât want to get into too much detail and didnât really explain what I wanted to properly. The interesting thing about NAND flash is that not all cells or groups of cells are equal and the quoted write figures are minimums and the majority of cells will last many times that, but some wonât. Even more interestingly a batch of devices from the same carrier which would have come off the same line together, will tend to have batches of cells that fail first which are mostly the same between the devices.
Now I understand.
