A feature of all BiTMICRO^® E-Disk^® and E-Disk^® Altima solid state drive firmware that monitors how much block erase/write wear-out has been accumulated by the disk. The drive provides a special LED signal warning when the total number of writes has reached 95% of the recommended operating threshold. Note that the E-Disk^® and E-Disk^® Altima erase/write cycles can exceed this threshold.
