Смысл: The main idea is that consumers should prioritize random 4K-8K read/write speeds over sequential speeds when buying an SSD, as the latter are largely irrelevant for daily computing tasks despite being the primary marketing focus of manufacturers.
SSD manufacturers mislead buyers by advertising sequential speeds, whereas random 4K-8K access speeds are what actually determine real-world system performance.
Смысл: The text explores whether internal fragmentation affects SSD performance. Through empirical testing, the author demonstrates that while most high-end and server-grade SSDs handle random writes without losing sequential read speed, some consumer SSDs experience significant performance degradation, suggesting that internal 'defragmentation' (re-writing data sequentially) could be beneficial in specific cases.
Empirical tests reveal that while most SSDs are unaffected, some consumer-grade models suffer significant sequential read speed degradation due to internal FTL fragmentation caused by random writes.
Смысл: The main idea is that by reconfiguring the controller of a QLC SSD to operate in pSLC mode, one can trade a large amount of storage capacity for a massive increase in write endurance and consistent write speeds, effectively removing the performance 'cliff' associated with QLC caching.
The author demonstrates how to use SMI MPTools to convert a QLC SSD into a pSLC drive, resulting in a 3300% increase in lifespan and consistent high-speed writes at the cost of total capacity.
