Re: [Avid-L2] 4TB Glyph AtomRaid SSD Issue?

No argument other than with spinning drives it's worked for the company.  When you say it's uncommon to be deleting and recovering space I'm not sure I'm understanding.  My limited google lead to the way an SSD has to rewrite a whole block, which can be up to 128 pages (4KB/page) so changing just a page means caching a whole block and rewriting it back with the modification of the new info.  I read some approaches will keep empty blocks so they don't have to delete the existing block but just write to an empty one and flag the existing block for deletion.  I'm not clear as to the methods of how these processes are administered and if it's up to the OS or does the SSD itself keep track of this stuff. 

I'm grabbing at straws here but the way the drive problem was described to me it was progressively worse which sounded like the types of performance degradation of SSDs I'd read about.  Still degradation doesn't mean failure so I'm really at a loss as to what is really happening under the hood.

Madness. And who writes to a drive with just 5% free space. Again madness.
However as to multiple writes being the issue I suspect not as it's uncommon to be deleting and recovering space. Who does that nowadays.
Sounds like a faulty batch. 
But so training on good working practices would be helpful.
