Intel SSD 510 high "Host Writes" compared to Intel G2 (no direct "OS" write load)

I observe this problem for quite some time. Unfortunately I did not have time to test in this matter.

I have since 07/2010 Intel G2 160 GB. Start by cloning (07/17/2010) with 194 GB. Until today (10/30/2011) 2480 GB.
That was exactly 471 days and 2286 GB. Average per day 4.85 GB. See here:



Since 06/2011 I have an additional series 510 250GB. Start by cloning (6/18/2011) with 119 GB. Until today (10/30/2011) 3900 GB.
That was exactly 3781 MB in 135 days. Average per day 28 GB. See here:



Both SSD work in "100% identical" conditions. Same hardware "HDX Dragon" notebook.
Operating system 100% identical as clones. (Dual Boot Vista 32 and Win7Prof.64)
There are no differences of the systems and software.
Systems are fully "optimized SSD." (And I know exactly what I do)
8GB of RAM per system. Page File on the Vista32 bit Ramdisc. Win764 bit without page file.
Temporary files on all systems on ramdisk.
Hibernate is not used.
Systems are more on than off. (Average about 13 hours per day)
Of course, sometimes off, sometimes turned on for "24 / 7 hours.
Main system is using Win7 64 bit.
Both hardware will be used equally. Main use: Internet browsing

My conclusion:
No software to write as much data. The operating system is not guilty.
Largest software write load for me is "Norton Internet Security." Average of 1GB per 24 hours.
This program works, however, has always been on "Intel 160GB G2".
So the hardware is to blame "Intel SSD 510".

There are two possibilities:

1.Intel calculated from the operating time of a "Host Writes value" of the warranty is adapted.
Warranty: 20 GB per day for 5 years.
This option is no physical "host writes," and would not affect the service life.
(Unless Intel has even programmed a "35TB forced shutdown.")

2.The write load (host writes) is physically generated by the controller. That would be a nightmare.
But even with this possibility, the SSD is working to secure more than 35TB.
(Unless Intel has even programmed a "35TB forced shutdown.")

Here is a link to some long-term tests. (Sorry, no 510 here) <--------This thread is great!

With the enormous write load the 35 TB limit warranty in 3.5 years would be achieved. Calculated from the installation of the SSD. That would be a great impertinence.

Whether the firmware plays a role I do not know. I have "PWG4".
Who among "PWG2" (or PPG2 at 120 GB SSD) also has a write load of about 20 GB in 24 hours, please post!

I pursue this issue further. With new knowledge, I'll write here.

An Intel employee:

I ask for clarification of this issue! The Series 510 is acquired because of higher durability. This uncertainty in the consumer may not be in the interest of Intel. Here is my link on the Intel thread.

Anyone knows the answer to this exceptionality?

Ps Sorry, this is Google translator!

 

your other attributes also show different usage pattern(say power on hours) and they seem to be in proportion.

So it depends on what these attributes really mean and only Intel can tell.

 

Check your alignment. Cloning is notorious for misalignment. That very well could be your issue.
