Hello,
Today I was helping a poor luser who's Crucial P1 QLC SSD died from
too many writes. We still don't know what's doing the writing, but he is
running luks using FDE so write amplification is definitely a
factor.
I forget the answer to this so please enlighten me, is there a streaming
cypher he can use instead of a block cipher? A better option that I
didn't consider?
Not that the TCG Opal is to be fully trusted (nor is it available on
that model), but how does it work with respect to write amplification vs.
luks?
Thanks,
David
