That's kinda interesting. Maybe a chemical reaction from an adhesive used when the cap is soldered in place? Perhaps the cap is held by four suction cups or adhesive feet at some point.

To be perfectly honest, I've never got anything close to satisfactory out of IOmeter and Linux. And no matter what I tried, it all seemed to go pear shape in a hurry. Even if performance looked to be...
You aren't supposed to be helping humanity, you're supposed to be breaking things ;)
Bluestang! It's good to see you around these parts again!
You're totally right, but somewhere along the line, all this can't just be bullsh*t. I just don't think the vast majority of drives are able to live to the point where read-only/write protect modes...
To be fair, Micron and SandForce drives (a few others, too) are supposed to voluntarily enter read only mode when available reserve space drops to zero. A few drives dump MWI in favor of a '% to read...
I'd say no more than a few days, at best. Once the TLC starts degrading, it's over quick.
Mine made it 8 days after the first read failure. Ended up with a bit less than 650 of them. After 27 read failures, it was about six days until it locked up the system.
After a long vacation, I'm back on the scene.
I was actually running another drive in the rig when the 830 died. That drive died two weeks later. What was it, you ask? It was a 120GB 840. I...
The 830 is going to remained powered on but idling for some time. Miracles do sometimes happen, but in this case it went too far and too fast. Even a few minutes was enough to hose it up. I won't be...
Alright, people. I have an announcement to make...
The 830 is on life support.
It probably would have made 7.5PiB if I had just let it be... it had been running for 3775 hours continuously,...

I don't know if you guys remember, but several months back one of my X25-Es died after a FW update (I think we were talking about X25-E FW and I found out the first FW revisions were bugged). After...

Nah, the controllers themselves are pretty rugged. They have higher Tmax ratings that the flash itself, but the firmware is a different story. Obviously, higher temps skew Vth, but a super short...
That's the equivalent of 8PiB on the 830! Excellent.
I won't argue with that!
But here in the states, the 830 is getting harder to find at such economical prices. I think the 830, while slower, isn't noticably outclassed by the 840 Pro.
It's just a retail box 830... Came with a copy of Arkham City, too. I don't game all that much, but I just recently got around to playing it -- it was moderately enjoyable. To put things in...
Now that you mention it, it is moderately epic.

Read failures can cause data corruption, leading to hosed partitions. It's happened a few times to me.

I've been waiting for the 830 to hit 6PIB before posting another update. Shouldn't take too much longer.
It's cool that Mr. Vatto gave the 830 a shout out, but it actually has 5,850TiB on it at the moment, not the almost 5,000TiB he mentions.
Based on my calculations, a 120GB 840 should hit MWI 1...
There is a problem with some 840s and LBA writes ; right now, F1 won't increment past 2.04TB and may reset with power cycles. It's hardly a big deal, so if you see it, don't think you're going crazy.
