All of them will perform the exact same in Windows. SLC, MLC, TLC, QLC, all of these are totally meaningless to consumers. These were the drives that gave SSDs their "limited write cycles, bursts into flames if you defrag it or use it for Swap file" reputation. That type of software tends to be there just to improve SSD benchmarks and nothing else. Windows will do a better job of caching your data on its own. "Momentum Cache" is not worth installing. ![]() Any SSD you can buy now has wear-levelling and spare area, so you should basically treat it like it has UNLIMITED write cycles, because it will never wear out no matter what you do to it. SSDs have come a long, long way since 2008. So your MFT was always on the same area of the same flash chip getting overwritten every time you changed a file. ![]() However what made the problem way worse was that those early drives just put all the data onto the flash in the same order you wrote it, and never moved it around. If you wrote too much to a 2008 SSD it could fail. ![]() Nobody ever talked about write cycles until the very first consumer SSDs came to market, which had very low quality flash and a somewhat limited number of writes. Well guess what, HDDs have a limited write cycle lifespan as well! Surprising huh? Right now.ĭid you ever worry about write cycles on your HDD? No, of course not.
