>No MLC lasts 5 years tops.

A 64gb Intel’s X25-E is rated for about 2 PB of TBW.

A S3700 (400gb) is rated for 7 PB TBW range and gets you 400gb not 64gb usable space.

>The stats don't look too good.

It seems to me that you're trying very hard to not look at stats and insist on extrapolating your small sample personal experiences?

Frankly for 3k you could have built a pure optane rig of equivalent capacity that would have crushed both your X-25E suggestion and my S3700 if you're really obsessed on endurance.

I'm generally of the meet people where they are and support their journey persuasion but when someone says 64GB SATA v2 drive with no trim and really bad metrics across the board is their best ssd buy I gotta say something
