Is there a limit of secure erases an SSD can take? I usually

Do you fucking idiots have to plaster every piece of software (or hardware) with these stupid anime images? Are you 12? Grow the fuck up man

Very much depends on the endurance of your drive. Securely erasing your drive basically counts as a rewrite of the entire drive. On some of your cheaper SSDs you could wear out the drives NAND quite easily. On some of your more expensive ones like Samsung they can take petabytes of rewrites until they fail. BTW any reason for security erasing the drive for every OS install?

Not really, just my OCD acting up I think, I've heard that TRIM should be enough and it's only adviced to secure erase if working on TRIMless enviroments for long periods of time, but I don't really know how TRIM actually works, so that's why I just secure erase.

TRIM is one of those things where you don't have to worry about if your using any OS made in the last 7 years. I wouldn't do it just to save write cycles and time.

idiot..

It doesn't matter. A decent brand SSD bought in the last 4 years can take thousands of erases before it fails. My 2.5 year old SSD has only an average of 110 erase cycles so far. At this rate assuming nothing else fails I can use it for decades. So no unless you're erasing your SSD every single day you don't have to worry about wear being the reason that your SSD fails.

I treat mine like shit. I'm not worried, by the time it goes bad it will be obsolete.

wow what a normalfag

Lol look at this triggered autist screeching about cartoon pictures

>>58802170
No, by doing a full secure erase you are wear leveling the drive.

>>58802170
Current commercial nand devices are able to sustain 300-600 full rewrite cycles. And Im talking about newest generation 16um. If your drive is a bit older and has bigger gates, it can sustain more.

Id say you are safe.
