Vertex 4 up to 52 reallocations (at 372.45 TiB in ASU)
The intel 520 is still running fine .... nothing really to report these except slightly higher write numbers :)
I'll do a full update tonight.

have you done any recent data retention tests on the x-25v rebadge? or are you waiting to hit 1 PB? I'm still trying to figure out what i should do with my little tanks when i have money to upgrade (going from a pair of x-25V to I'm leaning towards an M4 128GB- only on a P45 chipset atm with them though)
I think Anvil is going to wait just like me until 1 PiB is broken.
I'm waiting for 1PiB before doing more retention testing.
It had a very short retention-test about a week ago, just a few hours disconnected while reinstalling the rig.
I believe the last retention test was at 7 or 800 TiB, it lasted a full weekend w/o power.

The vertex 4 is killing blocks at an increasing rate. Things are progressing quickly ... there may not be a tomorrow for this drive. It seems to roughly doubling the block reallocation count every 24 hours.
The Intel 520 is just doing its thing, quietly and without fuss. Which means one day it will simply die without warning, shattering the dreams of it's owner, along with all their data .... where that point is, who knows.

Looks like my endurance rig has some kind of error, which means I get the occasional BSOD.
Sometime soon I'll need to run memtest86 on it to find out what is wrong and attempt to correct it. This will mean the drives will get at least a small retention test.
Can you rule out that it's caused by one of the drives?
Are you able to catch what BSOD it is and is it the same one?
BTW, got a new drive for Endurance testing today, breaking it in as we speak :)

Exciting!! :up: A 3K unit . How does it perform?
Hard to tell!
It's on it's 4th loop.
Currently it's about 25MB/s faster than the Corsair Force 3 (Async) but it needs 20 hours to get to the first reference point I've got on the F3.
Not sure what settings I ended up using on the F3, will check.
Need maybe a couple of days to stabilize?
Did you do the standard benchmark?
It will need some time.
I'll post the benchmarks later, ran a few different compression settings for later comparisons.
Not sure it they do some sort of testing as it had > 30 power on hours, next to no writes though. (kept the screenshots)
Here's a link to the F3, ~24 hours into the test.
(doesn't look like the links are working properly, it's on this page though, post #1693)
edit:
21+3 hours for the F3 so I'll compare them when the 330 has been running for 24 hours.
The Force 3 did 8K GB each day so if this goes past that it's a pretty good contestant.
Average speed is in the low 120s, loop counter is at 33.
The pauses at the end of the loop (deleting and TRIM) is what is killing the average speed, the drive is doing about 140MB/s throughout the loop.
It's already well past 1TiB
The BSOD is 0x1A error code. (memory manager)
I am able to get linx to fail as well, so it isn't to do with the drives!

Yep, I saw the same on my vertex 4 ... at least on the older 1.3FW .... 180gig or so average speed, bought down by the delete cycle to 145meg or so.Quote:

I'm sitting at 1.51PiB LBA writes at the moment. Not too shabby, but I was really hoping to hit 2PiB before 84 days. Probably will be closer to 90.
Now that Anvil's dropped the new drive, I feel like I should toss another one in there, too. Suggestions?
It's already past 2TiB, avg speed is 123.nMB/s and that includes 3 rounds of MD5 testing.
As the 330 is twice the capacity of the 520 I'm optimistic on behalf of the 330 :)
Christopher,
I'll just throw in a few suggestions in no particular order
- Kingston 3K
- SanDisk Extreme
- Crucial v4 (a new series of "low cost" drives, SATA 3Gb/s with OK write speed for a 3Gb/s drive, low iops so not sure how it would perform)
- Corsair Performance Pro
- Plextor (if you can find a "cheap" one)
- Something upcoming using the 88SS9187 controller
It should be something that is not dated :) other than that it's up to you.
I'm thinking about getting a 256GB M3P and runnin' the 128GB M3P! The speed is downright magical, and I think it would be worthwhile. I have a 3K and the Mushkin Enhance Chronos Deluxe 120GB still, might be good to get back to my roots, but I don't know if another SandForce is where I need to be going. The Extreme is still interesting though, but I want a 128GB that's as fast as the 830.
I agree about not going SF, something new would be good. (other than SF)
Phison's new 6gbps controller is out... but I don't know if I'll be rushing out to buy one.
I reckon that the M3P 128GB could burn though 21TiB a day, using about 186 PE cycles in the process, or around 1300 a week (~147TiB). That's not terrible!
What drives are using the Phison controller?
The new MyDigitalSSD BP3 up (up to 512GB) using the S8 Phison. It's... how do I say this... about what you'd expect. I still want to play with one, though.
