How much data have you written to your SSD?
I've had my Samsung 830 SSD for almost two years now, & it's been utterly reliable so far. Hell, there hasn't been a single firmware upgrade in all that time, so I guess they got it right straight off the bat :) I use mine as a system drive, plus a few of my most frequently used programs. I just checked the drive with the 'Samsung Magician' utility, & it seems I've now written 4.77Tb of data to the drive. I've no idea whether that's average or above average? I'd be interested to hear from anyone else as to how much data they've written to their drive over a similar period of time?
Re: How much data have you written to your SSD?
My Samsung 830 is not recognized by Magician (maybe because it is a Dell OEM) but I will check how much data I done. Otherwise same reliability (flawless) so far.
Re: How much data have you written to your SSD?
~1.2Tb here on my 6-7 month old mSATA Plextor System drive, that ties in well with the 4.7Tb/2years figure.
0.8Tb on my ~9 month old Samsung 840 non-Pro secondary drive. Not expecting that to reach 4+ Tb for a very long time!
Bonebreaker777: assuming you have an Intel chipset/SATA connecting your SSD, from Device Manager, 'update' the driver for the IDE/SATA controller manually, select the Standard Microsoft AHCI (or Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller, whatever the default MS driver is called) and have it run with that.
Your 830 should then be visible to Magician, allow TRIM and may even be a little faster - it might even allow the drive data to be saved more gracefully, should an unexpected power loss occur.

Very interesting. Will try it once I arrive home from work. Thanks!
EDIT: It didn't work and I think I had what you suggested anyway already. IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers > Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA Controller > Driver: Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA Controller, driver version: 6.1.7601.18231.
Re: How much data have you written to your SSD?
Probably about the same as what's currently on it - 38GB.
Only got it in January!!
Re: How much data have you written to your SSD?
No idea. I took the current one out several months ago to test something else, and haven't yet got around to putting it back in.
Re: How much data have you written to your SSD?
Samsung 830 120GB, bought July 2012
Total data written: 4.98TB
Status: Good
Wear Leveling Count (SMART test): 298
Re: How much data have you written to your SSD?
Corsair F120, had for 3 years I think
Host Read: 19.1 TB
Host Write: 4.8 TB
Data written to NAND: 3.4 TB
Power on hours: 6676
Error rate: 0
Retired block count: 0
Reallocation count: 0
Write compression is great :D
Re: How much data have you written to your SSD?
I've had my Plextor M5S 128GB now for I don't know 8 months - 1 year, I think?
Read: 7.7TB
Write: 4.4TB
NAND writes: 9.9TB
Hours on: 1413
With a hefty amount of Windows OS reinstalls. Good not good? I have no idea :D
Re: How much data have you written to your SSD?
^this post reminded me about host writes vs NAND writes - it's likely Samsung magician is only reporting host writes, there's often quite a bit of overhead so the actual NAND writes are higher - except in the case of Sandforce drives where write compression might reduce the overhead, or as in my case, give negative write amplification :)
Re: How much data have you written to your SSD?
Vertex 450 for about a year;
2.8TB
Re: How much data have you written to your SSD?
It does not work on my Kingston SSD.

It's all taken straight from the S.M.A.R.T. data anyway - can you use HDTune or something to display the table?

Hmm, newer version than mine (6.1.7601.17514 W7x64 SP1 Home, Z77 chipset), should be fit for a new topic to help work out why Magician doesn't see your drive. Is TRIM available?
Re: How much data have you written to your SSD?
Sandisk Extreme 240GB somewhere around 18 months old. Been faultless unlike the OCZ Vertex 2E i had before it.
Total reads 6.56 TB
Total writes 3.52 TB
Power on count 887
Power on hours 4621

Could be a new topic, but I wait till I exhausted all the advice found or given otherwise ;-)
On the other hand, I found my SSD activity details in the SMART: 4529 Power-On Hours, 1979 Power-On Counts, Total LBAs Written 5088487470, Total LBAs Read 1443949087
