Write endurance is measured while running 100%
random 4KB (4096 bytes) writes spanning 100% of
the drive using Iometer.
JESD218 standard1 and based on JESD219 workload.
Formula for calculating disk size:
z
=
y
*
x
Where
y
= Requested minimum lifetime (with respect to wear out, [year]).
Where
x
= Data rate (GB /per year).
Where
z
= Total amount of data written data to SSD during its whole lifetime.
Step-by-Step Calculation
Step 1: Measure (preferred) or estimate data rate
y
, [GB /per year].
Step 2: Define minimum expected lifetime for SSD device
x
[year].
Step 3: Calculate total amount of data written to the SSD during its whole lifetime,
z
=
y
*
x
.
Step 4: Use table,
column 2
, the
z
value shall be less or equal to the value in the table to achieve requested lifetime.

, which corresponds to the selected value in
column 2
.
Step 6. Check that the size of the selected SSD is greater than required size of the SSD, if not select the size of the
SSD that match customer requirements.
