Samsung’s new controller is 50 percent more energy efficient than the previous generation. For each capacity, LPDDR4 buffer memory has been added as GB as its capacity. The total write life is determined as 600TB-1200TB-2400TB.
According to the data obtained in the Samsung Magician application, the usage health of the drive is declining rapidly. Users have seen 99 percent health after doing a clean software installation on a new drive. In the following days, even with a standard use, health decreased by 1 percent every day.
The rapid decline in drive health was actually a common problem in the early days of SSD products, but its emergence in the flagship product causes criticism from users. Some users even stated that even entry-level SSD products have experienced an unprecedented decline. It is stated that Samsung did not listen to the complaints and returned the SSD products sent to the technical service on the grounds that there was no problem.
