Maybe Sandforce controllers work better with properly written FW. :shrug: :up:

1000Tb of host writes seems a lot!
I wonder if the Corsair Force GT 240Gb can handle that kind of a write endurance?

Bah, my vertex 4 is still not performing right.
Will decide whether to just kill it as is, or just keep it for something else.
Yeah, a 1.3.bugfixed firmware would have been good ... but I think the vertex 4 is solely focused on write benchmarks at all costs. It kinda has tunnel vision to other ssd requirements.
The plextor/liteon drives are a much better buy at the moment for performance.
I still have an unopened Vertex Turbo 64GB laying around somewhere, maybe the third time is the charm?
...Probably not.

I needed the SATA ports last night so both drives had a 10 minute break. (gave them a cleaning as well by triggering TRIM)

I've changed the filling for the drives that are paused.
Based on current figures this might be the outcome at MWI 0

We used a Vertex 3 MaxIOPS 240GB at work for a critical server.
We had write errors from Oracle, so we switched the SSD. We discovered that the SSD, even with a almost perfect SMART data (2TB write, 200TB read, maximum difference between most worn cell and best cell = 1), it was impossible to copy a 8GB file entirely, it blocks when there is 760MB left. All the other data was intact.
How can this be possible? Isn't the controller supposed to mark bad blocks and not use them? Or is it because the SSD doesn't have idle time?
Yesterday I upgraded the firmware to 2.22. It was 2.15 since installed.
We are really not a support service for OCZ, especially since I'm here to kill OCZ drives, but there seems to be something ether wrong with your SSDs or server. I've never seen such a situation on SSDs here, and I've copied some whopper 20gig files to and from them.
Kensiko...this thread is dedicated to endurance testing, maybe you should post in the hardware-storage section.

I'm going for 3 weeks on vacation so my updates can be kind of sporadic. I've installed a ups to prevent a shutdown from powerfailures and will be crossing my fingers :)
I think that the G1 might soon die on me. It droppes reserve space at 1-2% every day, just hope it stays in there until I'm back again.
B.A.T. -- I don't know about you, but my drives only like to die when I'm out of town. I'd say it's a guarantee that something will die while you're gone. That's just how it works.
I'll just have to wait and see :D
