I assume the people who make NVME drives are much more knowledgeable than me on the topic. I just use drives as they come and don't obsess over how to get 5-10% more life out of them with tweaks. Your best bet is to buy a drive from a reputable brand and not one you haven't heard of before or at least haven't researched. As far as data, back up early, back up often.



This article is not about a drive's total write endurance or lifespan, but about short-term durability of writes across events like unexpected power failures or system crashes.
