I lost another 6 hours due to an auto restart. :mad:
As soon as I get back home, there will be at least one new drive in the test.
I am thinking of getting a new SSD ... either a 128gb m4 or 128gb 830. From your testing which do you guys think would be better!?
I think its hard to argue against the M4. But there is the Plextor and Corsair drives to consider as well -- the Marvell plus 32nm toggle NAND, and for the same price as well. The 830 does have a big edge on writes, similar to the toggle nand Marvell drives. I don't think you can go wrong with either, and all those drives are similar in price and read performance.. They all have 3 year warranties too.
No more updates until Tuesday evening... I've lost contact with my endurance testing rig back home, and haven't been able to raise it for 24hrs now.

That's a real shame isn't it? Whatever happened to the SSD promise that the drives will become read-only and will not die the way all SSDs have died so far. So, none of the players implemented any fail-safes in any drive. What a shame! I would be better served with 200TiB writes and read-only for next 5 years instead of 400TiB and dead-for-good in a week after that.

More time lost due to a fricking Windows auto restart. Auto update / off
^^Ao1, could you eliminate any possibilities of BSOD by disabling auto-reboot upon BSOD? It could be found in System -> Advanced system settings -> Startup and recovery settings -> System failure automatically restart
I suspect that the disk went offline with some 0xF4 BSOD?
Intels have no read only point as some others.
Once MWI-1 is reached data retention is not guaranteed and may be reduced.
When you reach MWI-1 on the Intels (and many of the others tested here) it is your call-
1) When to back it up.
2) Stop writing to it and use it as giant read only thunb drive.
3) Keep on writing.
I don't know exactly what the final write numbers will be on the Intel 320 but if memory serves it will be in the 600-800TB range.
MWI was exhausted at 190TB.
If this was a data retention test I think One_Hertz might have been overly aggresive with the "Writes".
Since this is an endurance test it died like a "Spartan".
Ao1,
Just out of curiosity, is the Z68 system you're using a dedicated endurance rig or is it a multipurpose system?
My dedicated uATX H67/ 1155 Celeron system is perfect for an endurance testing rig, and had been completely stable -- until the other day when I lost contact. I'm not sure if the remote desktop client crashed, or if the whole system is down. I'm still out of town, should be home tomorrow to find out. I've also purchased another 16GB MTRON, so I'm going to start testing one of the two (one is a 3.5" MTRON PRO 7000 16GB, the other is a 2.5" MTRON MOBI 3000 16GB). I'm not convinced that it's even possible to test one in a reasonable timeframe, but I guess we'll see, won't we? Perhaps the MOBI will surprise me with more than one SMART attribute.
Still debating. It's in a laptop right now not doing much since I don't use it that much. But when I do, it's nice to be in Win7 in 15-20 seconds!
Also, very busy right now with my physical inventory from the end of December. Pricing WIP for the bean counters just sucks and is very time consuming. I should be done by the end of Feb.
I'm sure I'll break down at some point and re-enter....I just miss you guys so much! :)
Well Bluestang, the reason I was asking is because I obtained a brand-new Vertex Turbo 64GB... and I was wondering if you were going to run the other M225. I basically wanted your blessing before running it in the endurance test.
I was planning on running one of the MTRON 16GB drives and the 64GB Vertex Turbo... but I was hoping the Samsung would die soon to make room for other drives in the test. If you have no objections to me running this Vertex Turbo in the test, I will do so. I was kinda waiting around to see if you were going to run the other drive before I jump in.

Don't need my permission...go for it. :up:
Plus, then we can see how well a OCZ Turbo stacks against a Crucial Turbo. :)

@Christopher, I running on my main work rig. It’s 100% stable, but using it for the endurance test is a pain. It runs along in the background and doesn't take up much in the way of resources (even when running 4K) but it still a pain in the butt. (No AV, restarts for app/ windoze etc.). I’m just glad I didn’t pick the X25-V or 320. :D
I will say that I'm concerned about running three drives with three instances of ASU. The 1155 Celeron G530/H67 combo is pegged around 30 percent, but I think some of that is from the Splashtop remote desktop app (which is how I access the system, over my tablet, so it may drop down whilst I'm not looking)-- either way, it might not have the juice to run 3 drives. It's virtually silent, which is a plus too. I mainly use it headless, but I do have it connected to my LED TV if I need to access the UEFI or something.
I looked at resource utilization from the Slashtop remote client on my main SB rig, but it uses nVidia GPUs (it's optimized for nVidia and may leverage CUDA - The endurance rig uses 1155 SB video), and CPU usage was practically 0.
Each instance should be about 2-3%, must be something else that's consuming the bulk of the 30%.
Actually Bluestang, perhaps you can help me with something.
I found a brand new VT64, but it's one of the newer ones with 1.7FW. It was at 97 percent MWI out of the box. I tried D flashing it again, but nothing happened, so I flashed regular Vertex FW, used the NAND cleaner, then did Vertex Turbo FW again. This time, all the factory blocks disappeared and MWI went back to 100. But after a few moments MWI dropped back to 97 as the bad blocks got flagged again. I didn't know MWI was affected by runtime bad blocks. I'll post screenshots tomorrow.
Todays update.

I know why it's pegged at 30 percent all the time... it's just at a lower clock level. The single core 1155 Celeron doesn't use P-states, doesn't downclock or reduce voltage, but the G530 does. It's always running at 1.4Ghz because ASU and the RDC client only use a couple percent combined at 2.4Ghz on both cores, so it never really gets a chance to hang out at 2.4 as everything possible is disabled on the endurance rig. It's about as stripped down as a modern Win7 system can be.
