Your bound and determined to make me buy one of these aren't you? :(

It is all your fault if I do. That is what I'm telling my wife anyway. :up: :rofl:

I'd be happy to explain to your wife that you really, really need one. And that the future of the human race depends upon it. And if that doesn't work, I'll casually inform her that mine has been averaging 300MB/s since restarting ASU this morning. What other excuse could you need?? :clap:

So the 830 made it :)
1st drive to get past 1PiB, not many of those out there.
Another Milestone for the m4 passed :) 16 days to 900 TiB and 33 days to 1 PiB.

What other drive would be able to do ~300MB/s on average, except maybe for the SLC in the other thread.

As long as the Plextor (or any other drive) don't carry the needed SMART attributes it's not a candidate for testing, imho.
I might end up waiting for something with the new Marvell controller, most likely a drive with more than 64GB capacity.
It seems like Marvell-controlled drives not made by Crucial have an annoying tendency to have almost no SMART data. But if you've tried Arowana FW for Barefoot drives you'll notice it gets rid of the excellent Cognac Indilinx SMART data, and instead gives you something like Octane SMART data. So who knows? Half of the people on the face of this planet that care about SMART data happen to be us, so I'm sure there isn't much call from the public for more comprehensive SMART data in the future.

I expect a lot of drives to get there, my Force 3 was just bad luck, the firmware wasn't ready for prime time and so it was running for months with all sorts of issues. (mainly disconnects, which quite often can be seen as a clear warning)
I'm still considering running a Force 3 120GB again.
(it's still in the box :))
Make sure you use the 5.0.2 firmware if you want to retest the force 3. Would be interesting ... maybe 25nm production has gotten better over the last year.
The latest released fw from Corsair is 1.3.3 (late October).
Patriot released 5.02 a few days ago (April 30)
5.0.2 Release Notes
- Added Nand Support
- Updated SMART and Log Support
- Improved hardware handling
- Improved internal read buffering
- Improved block count management
- Improved Power Management
Will wait for an update from Corsair if I decide to use it for testing.
btw
The drive I've got is just as old as the one I tested (got them more or less at the same time), so in case it gets tested it won't show anything new on the NAND front.
edit:
I noticed that OCZ released a new one about a week ago. v 2.22
Looks like I've got a load of drives that needs updating.

Nothing much to report. Who wants to wager which drive will be the first to pop a block?
No "bad blocks" yet on any of the drives, almost unheard of.
Really hard to tell which one is the first to start reporting and maybe that'll jinx the drives.
The Intel's (X25-V and the 320) both started reporting bad blocks pretty early, looks like the Intel's handles bad block really well.
I think this Turbo has some good flash in it. And the 64GB 830 didn't flag any blocks until almost 6,000PE cycles, and that was during the period in which it suffered from a lot of WA.
I think it would be fun to wager on these drives. It would be like gambling on horse racing for storage enthusiasts. We just need some data to establish odds on the drives...
