" <<--- consumers clearly see the improvement in capacity, so manufactures focus on capacity improvements. However, nobody knows the durability, and it isn't printed on the label, so manufactures would be less likely to focus on durability I imagine. | |
| Feb 18, 2022 at 18:31 | comment | added | Ralph | Reading the data is apparently not necessary; just powering on the drive should be enough as the controller automatically refreshes cells that need it. At least, I read that this is the case on newer drives. A limited source I can provide for this is this forum where people seem to be quite expert on the matter: dpreview.com/forums/thread/3700706. I'm sure there are better sources. | |
