I need to buy new 30 pcs for my dtp workflow and look at intel 510 ssd.<P></P><P>thanks</P> Fri, 30 Dec 2011 23:11:38 GMT https://community.solidigm.com/t5/archive/dead-cells-are-the-cause-of-data-loss-or-only-lower-capacity/m-p/16544#M10232 idata 2011-12-30T23:11:38Z https://community.solidigm.com/t5/archive/dead-cells-are-the-cause-of-data-loss-or-only-lower-capacity/m-p/16545#M10233 <P>bump??? no one have answer?</P><P>how to scan for death cells?</P> Thu, 17 May 2012 19:21:40 GMT https://community.solidigm.com/t5/archive/dead-cells-are-the-cause-of-data-loss-or-only-lower-capacity/m-p/16545#M10233 idata 2012-05-17T19:21:40Z https://community.solidigm.com/t5/archive/dead-cells-are-the-cause-of-data-loss-or-only-lower-capacity/m-p/16546#M10234 <P>Its highly depend of architecture of SSD. Some SSD`s have spare cells area, so for some time they could compensate cell disposal (no capacity loss), some SSD`s use special algorithms for writing data into cells, using error correction codes (no data loss), some have both kind losses simultaneously. And Intel use SSD controllers from many vendors. If I remember correctly, in 510 Marvell controller used, so it have some error correction, but no spare zone.</P> Thu, 17 May 2012 19:35:58 GMT https://community.solidigm.com/t5/archive/dead-cells-are-the-cause-of-data-loss-or-only-lower-capacity/m-p/16546#M10234 AP16 2012-05-17T19:35:58Z https://community.solidigm.com/t5/archive/dead-cells-are-the-cause-of-data-loss-or-only-lower-capacity/m-p/16547#M10235 <P>Just like with traditional HDDs, you can use SMART for monitoring drive health.
