God, I sure hope so.Quote:

Okay. The Octane is really, really dead now. It dropped out for the last time, and is now a lifeless hulk.
not even worth doing an autopsy or giving it final rights before burning it in a funeral pyre?Quote:

Not a great omen for my vertex 4. I hope it's improved ECC stops this sort of issue killing it so soon.Quote:

Well I'll be damned.Quote:

I'm thinking of doing another data retention test, I might wait until it's past 1 year of testing though.
Anvil,
The 830 exhaused MWI at 3600 with 831,233GiB
---------------------
UPDATE
That's not actually true whatsoever.
It actually hit MWI 1 at what is most likely 3582.
Last log at MWI2: 2/2/3578 at 827,351 GiB
First log at MWI1: 1/1/3582 at 828,317 GiB
So it's probably 1/1/3580 and 827,911 GiB
That's as close as I can get. Somewhere between 3579 and 3582 Wear Leveling Count, MWI hit 1.
The 830 is using 230GiB per WLC, so an increase in WLC of 3 is almost exactly 690GiB. I believe 3580 is actually the value when MWI hit 1, but as I said, I can only narrow it down to a PE cycle count range of 3 (or 690GiB).
A couple of hours early, but the 830 passed its 3 month data retention test with flying colours. Hmm, what to do now. Leave if for a year?
Wait for the petabyte :DQuote:

So that's the course I'd advise.Quote:

this is from a SSD that the Editor just posted our review for. We had some fun with for the last few weeks. I will say this...man i would LOVE To endurance test this monster, but i dont have the next ten +++ years!
i try not to post links, but this is cool stuff guys :)

That's straight out of Ball-So-Hard University. I heart SLC.Quote:

I wonder how this drive would fare were it using a 2G SF instead of the 1G -- I bet it would be pretty damn awesome too.
virtually indestructible lol. i think the case could probably take a pretty decent caliber and deflect, or absorb it. this thing is thick like a nickel as they say :)
really one of the coolest pieces of tech that Ive been lucky enough to touch, i just cant get over it. i almost had to pry it out with a crowbar that PCB is so secure......im hitting it with a hammer as we speak....
but wait until you see what we post tomorrow....
Needs moar hammar :PQuote:

SLC + indeeeestructable = win
Imagine a hardened Intel X25-E -- a drive which can survive a direct hit from most small arms fire and has 50nm SLC. I think I should retrofit mine with some kind of metallurgical ninja magic.
It's too bad there isn't more information on the physical limits of "non-ruggedized" SSDs. I have a couple which are built like tanks -- the 3.5" MTRON comes to mind -- but I want one I can run over with a tank. Or install in a tank.
I'd call my own ruggedized SSD The Intrepid or perhaps, the U.S.S. Intrepid.
