Response of 545s during read wear leveling

[Shigeyoshi_O_In]

Hello, 

Intel 545s has read wear leveling feature. It involves data copy from one block to another. Isn't 545s able to respond to host during the operation? If so, what is the expected maximum wait time for host? Any spec for that?

Hello SOhar,

Thank you for your patience.

Let me share the following information with you and the community.

The Wear Leveling process is done in IDLE times, but the controller is who defines the best time to perform that action. However, that should not affect the normal operation of the SSD.

We will be looking forward to your reply including the information we requested in our previous post.

Best regards.

​Hello Josh,

Thank you so much for the answer. There is not any issues with Intel 545s so far, but I want to confirm that it doesn't have the issue that appeared with SSD from another vender. It has an issue caused mismatch between timeout value of RAID software and delay of wear leveling.

Regards,

Ohara

Hello SOhar,

Thank you for your reply.

We are glad to hear that you found the information provided helpful. 

Since your issue is not related to the Intel® SSD 545s Series, we advise you to contact your motherboard manufacturer, or in case that you are using a RAID adapter, to consult the OEM (original equipment manufacturer), to check if there is any way to modify the Timeout Intervals.

Another option is to contact the SSD manufacturer, to see if they have an available firmware update that may address your issue.

We will be looking forward to your reply in case you need further assistance with your Intel® SSD.

Best regards.
