I was told that using a SSD for video recording was going to kill it...

[Spirch]

might not be interesting for most but here it is, almost 2 years of 24/7 continuous recording

keep in mind that I bought this as an experiment during summer of 2023 when the ssd price was low, this was like half the price of today and i needed, not wanted, a 2.5 inch drive and the hdd price was close or nearly the same




just wanted to share my experience ... and i should have bought more than one drive!

You only wrote 181TB, according to the specs:

Samsung 870 EVO SATA SSD | Samsung Semiconductor Global

Samsung 870 EVO achieves the maximum speed of SATA interface. Intelligent TurboWrite maintains long-term high performance. Available from 250GB to 4TB.

semiconductor.samsung.com

The drive shuld be okay up to 2400TB.
However, it was not designes for 24/7 writes, surprising it works well.

true but only 2% of it life is gone (probably close to 3% at this point) for 7.5% of 2400TB

people said that writing video continuously would kill it in a year or two, so far so good i would say

based on what i am seeing, if the electronic doesnt die, i have another, close to, 12-ish years out of it. TBD of course haha

if this ever happen, it would have outlived a normal HDD, remain to be seen
