Thanks for the update!
Looks like the non-Intel SF drives are a bit different on MWI, I've still got 27% (or 37% depending on how Intel handles the last 10%) left on my drive and NAND writes are up to ~380TiB.

Your intel 330 will go all the way down to 1%, just like my Intel 520 did.Quote:

Will be interesting if the 330 makes it all the way to 1% though .... did intel forget to set the NAND cycle feature to 3k rather then 5k on their 330 drives ... or does the 330 really have 5k NAND in it.
Also, if people are looking for a drive with Plextor M3 like performance, but don't have plextor stocking their part of the world ... keep an eye on the liteon drives.
I got the following from a $90 AU Lite-On - LZT-128M3S (128gig).

The scary thing is that inside the outer casing of this LZT-128M3S, there is a mSATA converter and a Lite-on M3M mSATA drive.
Such performance is completely nuts from a normal desktop drive, let alone a mSATA drive!
I could have checked how it was handled on your 520. (a bit lazy as it's holidays sort-of)
Here's a look at Reallocations vs MWI on the 330

Where the hell do I find such an oddball drive as that Lite On? That has my name written all over it.
Just keep an eye out for bargains. Then don't hesitate because they sell out quickly.Quote:

Been powered for 26 hours and only showing 1 power on hour. Could be due to some power saving mode.
I don't know that you can find them here the good 'ol US of A.Quote:

I used the 0.20R1 ver posted here this spring.
BAT,
No, my FW updates went off without a hitch, I just burned the ISO files to CD or on USB and booted. In fact, I can even update the FW of the dead MTrON (the one I don't fry). I got my Fw updates from Imation.
I've taken a look at their homepage but where can I find the download page with fw?
The last time I looked, MTRON didn't even have a site anymore.Quote:

Were you trying to flash your MTRON with the Imation FW?

Hi! Do you by any chance have the 18r or 19r? The 20r returns an error and won't flash.Quote:

I feel like the 830 should have more reallocations than just 9 at almost 3PB. But if we scale it down, it's a lot like the 64GB M4 with only .75PiB on it. Its even 1/4 the average speed of the M4.

Your Samsung has been performing better than expected, drives of such capacities are in a different league from smaller drives like 64GB drives.
I'm still thinking of creating an option for running at a reduced/fixed throughput and or combining with reading data on top of writing.
