I'm particularly disappointed by the Turbo. I had such... high hopes for it. 116TB is nothing.
I'm thinking that maybe the Turbo isn't refurbished. Perhaps it just used lower binned 51nm Samsung because all the good stuff was gone. Another possibility is the new features of the 1.7FW. Supposedly, it uses different wear leveling, and maybe it's just not as good as 1.6FW.
Here is a quick and dirty chart from the last 23 hours of the Turbo's short, miserable life.
Read failures go from 1 to 72 in ~22 hours. I would just have to assume that it's relevant. I tried flashing it again a while back... but it's still dead.
