Average speed reported by Anvil's app has been steady at about 112MB/s.

The other two unknown SMART attributes, 178 and 235, are still at 72/72/276 and 99/99/2, just as they were when the SSD was fresh out of the box.

So, attribute 177 just passed 20,000. If it is counting the average number of erases each flash block has undergone, that is impressive, since most 2X or 3Xnm flash is only rated for 5000 cyles. Even 34nm eMLC (enterprise MLC) is only rated for 30,000. Either this Samsung flash is very good, or attribute 177 is not what we thought it was. I guess we will have to wait and see if it passes 30,000 next.
