I really don't see how conflating performance problems with data retention problems helps illustrate your point.


Firstly arise the performance problem, if one keeps using it comes the data progressive loss, those are the ones at forums talking about high trim data errors.

" 3D NAND density-increasing techniques, such as extensive stacking of cell layers, can amplify read disturbances and shorten SSD lifetime. From our lifetime-impact characterization on 8 state-of-the-art SSDs, we observe that the 3D TLC/QLC SSDs can be worn-out by low read-only workloads within their warranty period since a huge amount of read disturbance-induced rewrites are performed in the background. "

" the SSDs entered an era where one can wear out an SSD by simply reading it. "
