On: Real world SSD wearout

[craftyguy]

I think technically it might still work (i.e. you could read/write to it without errors?), but the integrity of the data it is storing would be questionable.

Doesn't it only mean that writes will fail?

[wmf → sebazzz]

Some SSDs go into read-only mode when they have used up their endurance but others will let you keep writing.

[kalleboo → sebazzz]

It should but due to crappy firmware many SSDs will just drop off the bus and become unreadable.

[solotronics → sebazzz]

I would think it would mean that your writes may be corrupted.
