SSD Write Amplification Factor Calculator

Calculate SSD write amplification factor (WAF): WAF = NAND_writes / host_writes. WAF > 1 reduces SSD lifespan. High WAF is caused by random small writes and low over-provisioning.

How to Use

Enter the values for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate SSD write amplification factor (WAF): WAF = NAND_writes / host_writes. WAF > 1 reduces SSD lifespan. High WAF is caused by random small writes and low over-provisioning. Use the ssd write amplification result to inform your calculation.
