Windows 10: ssd with unknow TBW

The samsung 256 Gbyte ssd pm961 has an unknow TBW. but a 3 year warranty. Does this mean it' s risky if you want to use the ssd for 5 years within a TBW of 100?

SSD Crucial Bx 100 - rattling/vibrating. Possible?

This has been suggested several times already, and it has been suggested you try to move the SSD, remove it, or even suspend it in your case. Will you please try one of these?

If you don't understand vibration and resonance, please refer to @dorsetknob 's post above. *Smile It has been explained that something else moving/vibrating (even if you don't think they're vibrating they are...), fans, hard disk drives, and anything with a motor will cause some form of vibration at certain frequencies. This can be transfered through your case's chassis and where you mounted your SSD could be reaching a certain frequency that causes it to slightly move and rattle against the case.

We are suggesting you take action and report back..you keep asking questions from step 1...we should be on step 4 by now...that is solution.

Try what has been suggested and report back please. Otherwise all you're doing is leading this thread in an endless circle and the help will stop shortly thereafter.

Crucial MX200 250 GB

Thank you for your review @W1zzard *Toast :toast:


May i suggest 2 things for future reviews of SSDs (i dont know if they have already been suggested):

• Try to state the part number of the memory chips and their P/E cycles. I found that the ones used by crucial are micron MT29F256G08CECCBH6 but i cannot access the datasheet since it's limited to registered users and i assume you as a reviewer can get access to this information (sorry if I am wrong). While for crucial this is not necessary, a lot of other manufacturers dont declare the TBW of their SSDs and knowing the number of chips and their P/E cycles one can deduct the TBW until the remaining P/E cycles go to zero. It's a crude technique but gives a good estimate i think.
• Have a normal 1- 2 TB 7200rpm HDD in the reviews as well so it gives people better perception of the speed up they are gonna get (since most people buying SSDs at the moment are coming from a HDD) and I for one would be really interested to see the effect of loading times on games / programs on SSD vs HDD. You could argue that I can compare the loading time of BF4 installed on my HDD to the loading times you get on the SSD for example but I would rather have a standard benchmark as comparison.

One again thank you for the review *Smile

 

Windows 10 SSD Boot and Sleep faliure

Windows cannot stop the BIOS recognising the SSD. If at any time you can go into the BIOS and the SSD is not listed then you have an (intermittent) hardware fault. It does not matter what the precursor steps are if the hardware was OK it must be listed

Step 6 is categorical, you have a hardware fault. BIOS device recognition is always before drivers load so they cannot affect the process
