it lives?!!?!? ok...I think my pair of X-25s are going to stay in every system until they eventually die...or sata is replaced, lol

Seems to be a shame that this thread looks like its dead. I wonder what ever happened to that poor little trooper X-25

it IS SLC NAND... so it's not really that ridiculous

have you done any recent data retention tests on the x-25v rebadge? or are you waiting to hit 1 PB? I'm still trying to figure out what i should do with my little tanks when i have money to upgrade...

1 year and the drive refuses to die...

not even worth doing an autopsy or giving it final rights before burning it in a funeral pyre?

I can echo the -not going to wear it out doing any normal sort of things with your computer anytime soon.- bit. when I first got my SSDs, I too was under the impression of-extremely...

I've had HDDs entirely DROP their controller out of the blue (hitachi 500GB drive- MAYBE had 1TB worth of writes to it, <500 power on hours- this drive was bought in ~2008)- drive controller failed,...

Biggest thing with these drives is that nobody is stopping at MWI=0 where according to ISO standard- they should retain data for a year (or 3 months for enterprise?) they are going WELL beyond MWI=0....

that M4 just wont die...

I have this feeling that I'll end up with like 4 SSDs in my next comp (2 new ones +my current X-25v for scratch disks)
I've been watching this thread and getting more and more impressed with...

I agree on this too. just checked the writes on my 2 x-25V drives in a raid 0- one has written 0.04TB, and the other has written 0.03TB in the last 24 and a half days, they are now sitting at 1.36TB...

I have my two drives limited to a 60GB array (so some reserve space there on that front), and its sitting with 10.5GB free space (trimmed down win7 install...I need to reinstall to be able to install...

yeah, no kidding
I am also incredibly impressed with both the results and willingness of the participants, it sure has taught me a lot about not needing to baby my SSDs nearly as much as I have...

I feel in some sense that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19yjoUfbZtw&feature=related is suitable for this situation
(taps)

from the reading so far, it seems to me that the average SSD should be able to write at least 2500x its capacity (ignoring the small sample size here, where drives here are hitting ~4000+x their...

wow.. I've had my X-25V drives for closing in on 15 months, mine are reporting 8142 and 8138 hours power on time, and 0.99 and 1.09TB writes...which is probably close to about 1/10 what I thought I...

erm...Bulanula... write endurance in this thread alone has been proving you wrong, the 25nm drive has been having fairly substantially higher writes per MWI percentage ( 34nm- 90.49TB @ 50%, 25nm-...
