I have heard that NAND flash can wear out over time. What happens if the NAND component in the Toshiba SSHD reaches its endurance limit? Will data be lost?
Should the user exceed the endurance limit of the NAND flash, the Toshiba SSHD will continue functioning as a conventional HDD. However, before the NAND flash component reaches the endurance limits, its performance will gradually decline. Due to Toshiba’s NAND flash caching algorithms and data protection mechanisms, Toshiba does not expect an increased risk of data loss resulting from aging of the NAND flash on the Toshiba SSHD during the expected lifetime of a PC.
