Hello Everyone,

I am working in an instrument company and our company product's are mostly general purpose measuring equipment which is PC-based.

Recently, we noticed a lot of failure after degrading from enterprise grade SSD (Intel) to consumer grade SSDs (Micron).

Most of the failure are WinLoad.exe missing failures and based on our screening most of it have huge amount of uncorrected errors.

After google-ing, we found out that our instruments might overloaded the Consumer-Grade SSD by continuous 24/7 operations based on standard set by Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) Solid State Technology Association,

• JESD218A:Solid State Drive (SSD) Requirements and Endurance Test Method and
• JESD219:Solid State Drive (SSD) Endurance Workloads

Besides, our qualification for the product is at least 30 times power cycle do this further the flash wear process?

Do Enterprise Grade SSD and Consumer Grade SSD really that much different?

 

Micron brand, generally, is NOT consumer brand. It is targeted at OEM and businesses.

The consumer brand is Crucial. That is the brand targeted at retail and aftermarket.

If you are having problems with Micron ssd, you should be contacting the vendor that sold them to you or go direct to Micron representative in your country. Posting here is waste of time.
I am telling you this because I bought several Micron ssd (model M550) from ebay a couple of years ago, they probably came out from some server farm (or whatever) and they are working fine for me in my personal computer.
