Review on Patriot Viper VP4100 1TB PCIe M.2 2280 SSD - Premium High-Performance Solid State Drive by Adam Woods ᠌

The specifications indicate Total Bytes Written (TBW) However, if you believe the internal monitoring system through SMART, this information is overestimated by more than 2 times. SMART/Health Information (NVMe Log 0x02) Critical Warning: 0x00 Temperature: 38 Celsius Available Spare: 100% Available Spare Threshold: 5% Percentage Used: 11% Data Units Read: 4,612,182 [2.36 TB] Data Units Written: 192,761,918 [98.6 TB] As you can see, 98.6 data were written to the disk and the percentage of use is already 11%. In simple mathematics, we divide 98.6 by 11 - we get how many terabytes in 1% of life and then multiply by 100 = we get approximately 896Tb of life It is also not clear why there are no new firmware on the disk, the disk was purchased in April 2022 (more than a year ago) and still the off-software from the Patriot website does not see new firmware
