What is the write endurance of SNV3S/500G?
The published rating is 160 TBW. It describes rated writes, not a predicted failure date. Warranty eligibility also depends on the manufacturer's terms.
What connection does SNV3S/500G need?
SNV3S/500G requires a M.2 2280 slot that supports PCIe/NVMe. Check supported PCIe generation, available lanes and heatsink clearance; a SATA-only M.2 slot is not sufficient.
How much usable space does SNV3S/500G provide?
Its nominal capacity is 500 GB, approximately 465.7 GiB before formatting. The filesystem, reserved space and any RAID redundancy reduce usable capacity further.
What warranty is listed for SNV3S/500G?
Manufacturer specification: 5 years or Percentage Used reaches 100%, whichever comes first. A renewed, used, OEM or imported offer can have different coverage. Check the serial number and seller terms before buying.
