The move from 34nm to 25nm and then to 19nm has generally reduced the NAND PE lifespan - on 34nm each cell was rated for k PE cycles, on 25nm this drops down to k. Over-provisioning OP is sometimes used to increase drive endurance by setting aside free space that is inaccessible by the user for controller swap space. This can also be achieved with formatting to a lower capacity. The information is correct. In addition, those tests only indicate how many times data can be written, but not how long the written data can be retained, so they give a useful, but by no means complete picture.
I also think that the info is incorrect. The article is accurate. Check out tweaktown's review of the SP The key being the "up to" part. It is very deceiving, really. In reality, the BX is much slower than the BX when sustained writes are taken into consideration.
Kingston tends to use some shady behavior with their lower end products and blame the consumer. The cells are classified based on the number of bits they can store. Some cells can store one bit while others can store multiple bits of data. A memory cell can only be written to a specific number of times during its lifetime.
A cell that stores only one bit will be written to fewer times than a cell that stores three bits of data. The fewer the writes on a cell, the longer will be its life. The performance of an SSD will also depend on its flash memory cells. SSDs that have cells with three bits of data will be slower as there are more bits to read.
The cost of an SSD is determined by its cell type. We use cookies on our website to give you the most relevant experience by remembering your preferences and repeat visits.

SLC has copyback programming, which makes it perform faster. Partial programming involves programming part of a page of data, which speeds up small block transfers and read, modify, and write operations. However, MLC flash is sensitive to array disturbances, in which accessing part of an array can disrupt other parts of that same array.
MLC does not feature partial programming in order to reduce the risk of array disturbances, but slower system performance is the result. With MLC flash, that number is closer to 3, cycles. Although this reduction in endurance is problematic with some applications, MLC flash endurance is completely sufficient for many others.
Examining SLC vs. MLC performance to determine which option is best for your application can be challenging, but Delkin is here to help.
