RE: Emails from IBM Announcement Letters <gasm@xxxxxxxxxx>

On average if you have a 1TB drive, you can write 10TB of data to it per day over a 5 year period before it is expected to fail.

The Tier 1 SSD’s (Mainstream/Read Intensive) are rated for 1DWPD.

Exactly what does this mean?
<snip>These drives are rated at 10 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) calculated
over a five-year period.</snip>
Does that mean if it is a 1.2TB drive you can perform an average of 1.2TB
* 10 writes per day over a five year period? Or does it mean you can
perform an average of 10 writes, which can be as little as one character,
per day, over a 5 year period? I'm hoping it's not the latter.

Kind of like "Write Rarely, Read Many"?

I stopped receiving emails from IBM Announcement Letters gasm@xxxxxxxxxx<
mailto:gasm@xxxxxxxxxx>
Last ones received were 10/10, 10/3, 9/26

Not sure if this is a subscription issue or a possible spam issue.

Anyone else have trouble with these?

There was important IBM announcement today on SSD price reductions, that I
would like to read.

Thank You
