Some interesting work being done by TR at http://techreport.com/review/26058/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-data-retention-after-600tb

I wish they had one Crucial drive in there but I have a strong...

I think you misunderstood. These new stats are part of the standard now and are directly exported by the firmware. The SMART stats attributes are a mess. They were not there in the standard and are...

Is anybody still having Crucial M4 running this test? Please respond. There is a way to get the device stats from the firmware using smartctl and we can compare that to what we wrote to the disk to...

This is troubling, very troubling. None of the SSDs so far have gone into read-only mode upon failure. Not even the latest incarnation as of 2013. This was touted as one of the main features of SSD....

sandforce only? why not marvel controller (crucial m4)? m4 has been proven a winner overall (performance and durability).

Will be interesting to see what canthearu comes up with respect to this comment: "NAND flash bad block delayed occurs whenever you are using. Then, if there is more than the rate at which it will be...

Lot of fun around here....:D

We gonna need to change the graph beyond 1400 soonish. The Samsung is looking to go where no drive has gone before and will ever go: 2PiB and beyond. I see no...

Looks like samsung is going to break 1PiB before anything else. 290MB/s avg write speed is 2-4 times faster than the next best things.

Wherever its going, its going there fast...:D

That Samsung is in a real hurry to die...:D

Yeah. I don't like that part. Some of OCZ practices are in bad taste.

The only thing they expose is remaining %age life. Which starts at 100 after this flash....:D You may have written the drive...

Its up and I just upgraded my vertex. The seq numbers took a fall but random 4k access numbers are up.
...

Hey Chris, do you wanna give Arowana firmware on the vertex a try? It has much better WA and 4k random speeds.

With under 100TiB on the chart? That's terrible but good enough for me because I have written about 2TiB in ~1.5 years on my Vertex1 128.

What a waste of a launch anyway! SF controller? for Pete's sakes!

Looks like its on its way out.

That 830 seems to be in a real hurry....:D

Next update it crosses 1000TB of host writes...:) Awesome!

That's a real shame isn't it? Whatever happened to the SSD promise that the drives will become read-only and will not die the way all SSDs have died so far. So, none of the players implemented any...

Merry Christmas to you all!

Looks like F3 is new horse to bet on to break the 1PB barrier!

bluestang: do you load the M225 again to see if it loads? May be there is a miracle waiting to happen...:D

Boss: what happened? why aren't you at work?
bluestang: I am mourning the death of my beloved M225...:(
Boss: Get back here!
bluestang: I thought you cared...<tears>

I am working from home...

:D you really like to be the one who has the last word, don't you? Good for you! It will help you in many ways, as long as you control and balance it well!

6 more days at this rate for the big 1PB! I am so waiting for next Wed.
