If those SMART data are to be trusted it's got 5000 P/E NAND and data written = C7 * 512Bytes so it looks to have some of the needed attributes.
I don't know, the missing history due to the reset makes it hard to include in charts.
It could be interesting if something pops up that could fit as a "partner" to that SSD, so keep it in the drawer for now. (if that is an option)
hi!
I'm max from italy.
I want to ask you who are experts:
calculating the life cycle of an SSD is more convenient 34nm SSDNow kingston 64gb (Intel X25-V rebranded), (and wait for the next generation in 2012), or buy a recent 25nm SATAII (like Crucial M4, OCZ Agility3, CORSAIR FORCE3) ?
Thanks, and please excuse my intrusion
max
i think its awesome that you flashed it over like that and it worked :) always love to see stuff like that work! Too bad it will not be a good candidate for testing, but it would be fun to play with :)Quote:
Don't forget that even though it says OCZ Vertex Turbo it is a Crucial M225. Let me know what you guys think.
@max-welcome to the forum.
*from the looks of it*, either will do just fine.

Ok guys. I figured I'd offer it up. P/E used to be listed as 10k under FW 1916, was changed to 5k with FW 2030 (Crucial's FW anyways, not sure about OCZ's FW). I'll probably just put one in my lappy. And if I can't get someone at my work to buy the other one, maybe I'll just beat on it myself for personal curiosity sake (would need you app for that Anvil if possible?:shrug:).
@bluestang
Nothing wrong with your offer :)
I'm still thinking of a match for your drive, I'll do some checks.
10K P/E drives are of course of interest, a shame that flashing the drive reset the SMART values.
The app will hopefully go public within a few days so if you can wait then that would be the easiest, otherwise, fire me a PM and we'll make the arrangements.
^ Thanks Anvil...I'll wait. BTW, today UPS delivered me 2x 64GB M4's for me to set up in RAID0 on my new build. Got them for $99.49/ea :up:.
I think it would be a good addition. Less than 1TB = a new drive more or less (strange it dropped a couple of MWI points for so little data, but that should sort itself out over the long run)
EDIT: @bluestang, look forward to seeing your results :up:
Well, I saw Indilinx drives with less than 4TB written with only ~50% left. The WA was around 30-50 with several firmwares.
Nevertheless, I would love an Indilinx drive in those graphs :)
I've got a X25-V 40GB that is not aligned and it has written about 1TB as well, still MWI is 98% so that doesn't seem to matter for the Intel.
(it's intentionally unaligned, running W7 so TRIM is active)

this interests me :) why? i dont find a huge boost with alignment, and on arrays sometimes the gains are miniscule. just wondering if you have a reason to leave it that way?Quote:
it's intentionally unaligned
amazing the idiliinx have such terrible WA, or DO they? i guess that is a question. I have a 8x array of 30 gb Vertex that have seen the rain for sure. i have beat the hell out of them. wondering if the smart data is actually accurate with the indys....
Just posted and I gave you guys a little plug for all your hard work (see bottom of page)

The indilinx really had such terrible WA. You can also read in pretty much every FW-Update they ever released some sort of "Changed WA algorithm". In german forums there are dozens of people with broken indilinx drives. Even today occasionally the old thread pops up with someone posting about it. With the newest firmware (you need to open the Ultradrive to flash it if you don't have the external switch on your drive though ...) the WA should go down to around 2-3. But well, it's a bit late for that ;)
I've got 4 X25-V's (2 are Kingstons) so why not experment a bit.
The one running the Endurance test was my "hot-spare" drive, one is running 24/7 in a server as the boot drive and the two others are boot drives running in "workstations".
The one that is not aligned works just fine but one can easiliy spot the performance drop on writes in benchmarks, still, no extra wear vs the other drives that are running under normal circumstances.
I originally had 3 Indilinx drives, it's now down to two (one was replaced by a V2), they are both doing fine and I haven't noticed anything "wrong" with any of them, will check the SMART attributes.
Thanks Les, great work!
Is this drive comparable to the Force 3/Agility 3 and most importantly, can one order one w/o LTT ;)

LTT...the new question eheheh. I found all 3 similar but there were definite benefits with this drive. Perhaps I might mention this thread to my contact to see if they would be interested in donating a drive to the cause although it doesn't look promising as OWC is the only company that enforces a strict sample return policy. I will ask though!
That way you could enter the Endurance test :)
Imho, they can only gain interest/popularity from such a test.
So, > 200TiB on the Samsung :) looks like there's no stopping that thing.
