1/29/2017Like I said they are basically the same in speeds and the reads are usually what matters most for gamers and shit.
While TLC does degrade faster its still something like 5,000 writes by which time I'd probably replace said drive.
Samsung uses a new type of nand they developed which isn't much better and to make up for the loss of speed
they enhanced other parts/firmware in their devices to go beyond the average drive.
Both nand sacrificed speed and writes to achieve greater capacity's. SLC and MLC are better but costs are higher and size is a factor.
http://i.imgur.com/PfJOYrW.png the degradation i was referring to was the tendency for tlc, planar in particular, to experience electron drift in regions that haven't been rewritten for some time, this causes read speeds to drop significantly when it comes to files that have been in one place for a long time.
these are results with that drive brand new, after 1 month, then after 2 months respectively
