And AnandTech quotes Intel materials who often boasts to have the most durable drives. Imagine what happens to other ones.


Samsung back up the 850 Pro with a 10 year/150TB host writes warranty.

And Intel is proud to be more reliable than others. In one of their presentations I've seen they show that they use some very high tech setups (like accelerators!) to measure the degradations fast, and that the other producers fare worse on their tests.
