The 830 is a beast. But it's also 256GB and writes an average of 296MB/s, which is like a 64GB writing 74MB/s avg. But if you really want something that can handle abuse, the X25-V is pretty much unmatched.

The Vertex Turbo is doing quite well, though considering it's really still working on MWI, it should be. It really should be considered as MWI 22 at the moment. Getting close, but still a couple of weeks away from true MWI 0.

I had to start using the new ASU release candidate so the drive had a 5 minute break last night.
ASU RC1 will most likely be available next weekend.
I don't know if expect is the right word for it, hoping fits better.
There is another drive out there (just like mine) that sort of inspired this test, we couldn't know for sure that it was for real but it looks that way.
(the other drive got past 20K write cycles, last report was over a year ago, don't know what happened to it)
And I'm 11000 P/E behind you. Wonder how much I can expect from the m4?!? It'll take another 3-4 months before we know....
I have high hopes for the Turbo, but it seems like it would very much be the luck of the draw. Your chances of getting a "representative" X25-v are probably better. Bluestang's M225 did well, the first Turbo I did was sub par, and the current Turbo is looking great.
If I started running my 3 Vs today, I'd wager they'd all still be working in 2013.
Christopher,
Will we ever see the 830 64GB again?
OK
I'll find out when it stopped working and remove it from the chart.

Christopher: Got myself an intel 510 - 250gig today .... were being sold for $300 AU so I figured it was a pretty good deal.
I tried the 510 250GB a few weeks back, a great drive!
$300 AUD is exactly half the price of the cheapest store in Norway.
The 510 has been much to expensive, it sells for $750 AUD where I usually buy SSDs. (normally about the cheapest shop in scandinavia)
I'd get one (or two) if it was available for $300 AUD. ($1 AUD = 6 NOK)
Yeah, the 510 has been fairly expensive here too ... but one of the shops here was clearing stock of the 510 series, and took something like $200 of the price. (other places still selling it are > $600 each, which is obviously a bad deal)
You know how I love the 510. And I don't even have a 250 (which is... fantastic). I have the 120GB and I'm perfectly happy with it.
The 120GB is now $209 USD instead of $280. The 250GB is $489 here... much, much cheaper, but still far more expensive than virtually anything else. You can get two 256GB M4s for one 250GB 510.
I don't think it officially goes EOL until September when it and the 311 series are discontinued.

We should be sitting at 1PiB tomorrow. The second PiB should happen 41.8 days later, give or take (another ~1004 hours)
The Endurance rig did something it hasn't done in a very, very long time ; it spontaneously reset 19 minutes ago.
I'm not sure why, either.
EDIT
My whole building suffered a momentary power outage for about a second. So not the fault of the e-rig. I had it back up and running a few moments later.

The vertex 4 is operating rather boringly for the moment.
My whole condo building building is not only surge protected, but is backed up by two giant Detroit Diesel generators. I thought it was supposed to be a seamless transition, but I think there would need to be large batteries inline to handle power for a few seconds while the generators switch over. There are a few restaurants on the first floor of my building which also rely on the generators.
This is the first actual power outage I think the building has ever seen. Given the exceedingly low power usage of the e-rig, I just need a UPS to last for a few seconds until the generators switch over and spool up. I'll try and a UPS soonish.
