About write endurance
PC-SSD16GS-L has a write endurance which limits the number of times each memory may be written, due to the
characteristic of the memory that is used. Write endurance can be calculated by the following formula as a reference value:
Write endurance (cycles) =
Total capacity (MB) x 100,000 (cycles) / Size of file (MB)
Example1: When the file of 10MB is made for PC-SSD16GS-L, and it rewrites it once a second.
Write endurance = 16384MB x 100,000 cycles / 10MB = 163,840,000 (cycles)
Longevity = 163,840,000 / (3600 x 24 x 365)
≅
5.1 (year)
Note that it is only referential value, not guaranteed value.
