Hi Mark, |
48 |
|
49 |
Yes, if a SSD could not survive writes, something is wrong with the |
50 |
SSD. But that was not my point. |
51 |
Copying about 100GB (roughly guessed) data in one go to the SSD is a |
52 |
use case, which is not common. And therefore possibly not taken into |
53 |
account by the company, which create that SSD. |
54 |
SSDs can create noticeable heat (mine has a minimalistic heat |
55 |
spreader therefore. Faster SSDs come with a substancial heatspreader). |
56 |
|
57 |
Smartctl will report problems when they are already there. |
58 |
I want to prevent problems beforehand. |
59 |
|
60 |
So -- does copying about 100 GB creates so much heat in the sillicone |
61 |
of the SSD, that it ages more than preferred? |
62 |
|
63 |
And if so, how can I prevent it by appluing other techniques to copy |
64 |
the data? |
65 |
See additional questions in my initial posting for that. |
66 |
|
67 |
Thanks a lot for any helpful advice in advance! |
68 |
Cheers! |
