I never heard about this reputation and luckily the Intel SSD 320 didn´t either. Its almost three years old by now: SMART Attributes Data Structure revision number: 5 Vendor Specific SMART Attributes with Thresholds: ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE 3 Spin_Up_Time 0x0020 100 100 000 Old_age Offline - 0 4 Start_Stop_Count 0x0030 100 100 000 Old_age Offline - 0 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 9171 12 Power_Cycle_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 2603 170 Reserve_Block_Count 0x0033 100 100 010 Pre-fail Always - 0 171 Program_Fail_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 172 Erase_Fail_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 169 183 Runtime_Bad_Block 0x0030 100 100 000 Old_age Offline - 1 184 End-to-End_Error 0x0032 100 100 090 Old_age Always - 0 187 Reported_Uncorrect 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 192 Unsafe_Shutdown_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 225 199 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count 0x0030 100 100 000 Old_age Offline - 0 225 Host_Writes_32MiB 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 393645 226 Workld_Media_Wear_Indic 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 2204244 227 Workld_Host_Reads_Perc 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 49 228 Workload_Minutes 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 13145477 232 Available_Reservd_Space 0x0033 100 100 010 Pre-fail Always - 0 233 Media_Wearout_Indicator 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 241 Host_Writes_32MiB 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 393645 242 Host_Reads_32MiB 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 1002465 Media wearout indicator basically says the SSD considers itself to be "new". Value is the same 100 as it was as it was new. The raw value tough raised for the first time. On 2013-10-12 is was: 233 Media_Wearout_Indicator 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 For more about this indicator read in Intel PDF about it. There are some Erase fails that happened I think in the first year of SSD life, but that 169 raw value so far never raised gain. There have been 393645 * 32 MiB = 12,01 TiB of writes. The SSD itself is specified to be usable for at least 5 years with 20 TB of host writes each day. That is about 7,3 TB or 7,1 TiB. I assumed TB in the Intel specification document, if its TiB, its then its 7,3 TiB. Anyway with conversative 7 TiB a year or 21 TiB in three years of which only 12 TiB are used up, I am quite confident that this SSD could last longer than 5 years. This ThinkPad T520 has been with BTRFS since installation of the Debian sid system on it with Kernel 2.6.39 or even 2.6.38 (where Sandybridge graphics didn´t work so well as today yet). So that much to any FUD about BTRFS and SSDs.
