I'm sure the entire internet is waiting with bated breath. Micron,
Samsung and Intel in particular will be waiting with pencils poised
above notebooks to discover what nuggets of wisdom he deigns to impart
from on high.

I wonder if any credible sources for his point of view actually
exist.


The Ladybird Book of SSDs?

Perhaps he was blustering


*gasp* No! Surely not!

I told you and pointed links to the salient facts

1/. That all SSDS use advanced wear levelling algorithms that utterly
break the correspondence between logical sectors and physical sector.

2/. There is no reason why they should even preserve page size in the
translation, and there are very good reasons why they should not - to
solve the problem you insist exists, being one.

3/. All your links with the exception of the INTEL one apply to hard
drives, not SSDS and intel make hard drives...

4/. The Intel link is years out of date,

5/. No manufacturer who makes nothing BUT SSDS mentions this issue is
something to be looked into.

I conclude that it is therefore an urban myth believed in by people who
don't understand how SSDS actually work , and carried over from hard
drives, where the problem does exist.
