We've written about 700-800TB to each P3700 in about 10 months and their official specs show that they should be good for about 7PBW. We plan to try and keep these nodes running for about 5 years, so roughly about right I would imagine. Looking at the 3520's, I think by the time we have enough endurance, we would be talking about ones at the high end of the capacity scale. > > Here's one of our DCS3700's after 2.5 years of RBD + a bit of S3: > > Model Family: Intel 730 and DC S35x0/3610/3700 Series SSDs > Device Model: INTEL SSDSC2BA200G3 > Firmware Version: 5DV10270 > User Capacity: 200,049,647,616 bytes [200 GB] > > 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age > Always - 22580 > 226 Workld_Media_Wear_Indic 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age > Always - 3471 > 228 Workload_Minutes 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age > Always - 1354810 > 232 Available_Reservd_Space 0x0033 099 099 010 Pre-fail > Always - 0 > 233 Media_Wearout_Indicator 0x0032 097 097 000 Old_age > Always - 0 > 241 Host_Writes_32MiB 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age > Always - 8236969 > 242 Host_Reads_32MiB 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age > Always - 7400 > > Still loads of endurance left. > > Anyway, in a couple months we'll start testing the Optane drives.
