I do not believe so?

Drive is a 2TB Intel 670p NVMe SSD (INTEL SSDPEKNU020TZ) with 9078 power on hours and 42TBW - so pretty spry, but not at the start of the bathtub curve either.

It was mounted as fast storage for a Bitcoin node.

Perhaps the only 'unique' thing is it is using a NVMe to PCIe adapter card (Synology M2D20) due to this being my "legacy" server that's still rocking a Broadwell chip.



That does sound pretty spry. But it doesn't rule out that it utilizes slow storage which is fronted by a (too) large RAM buffer making the device appear much faster than it really is. Most SSDs are like this.
