BAT,
No, my FW updates went off without a hitch, I just burned the ISO files to CD or on USB and booted. In fact, I can even update the FW of the dead MTrON (the one I don't fry). I got my Fw updates from Imation.

I've taken a look at their homepage but where can I find the download page with fw?

I ment Imation homepage. The Mtron homepage is down wich makes it not easy to find anything useful.

Were you trying to flash your MTRON with the Imation FW?

Nope, I used the Mtron fw posted here.
I've been desperately trying to find the 0.18 or 0.19 ver to see if that will make a difference

I feel like the 830 should have more reallocations than just 9 at almost 3PB. But if we scale it down, it's a lot like the 64GB M4 with only .75PiB on it. Its even 1/4 the average speed of the M4.

Been a hard week at work. Will be taking it out on a new SSD. Stay tuned!
I might start looking for another drive as well.

Your Samsung has been performing better than expected, drives of such capacities are in a different league from smaller drives like 64GB drives.
I'm still thinking of creating an option for running at a reduced/fixed throughput and or combining with reading data on top of writing.

Hardware:
Anvil, my sandisk extreme seems to be missing from the list of drives on the first page?
Can you fix?
Ugh, will check whats happened when I get back home. (tonight)
edit:
Should be OK now, not sure how that could have happened.
(I do keep backups and that made it a quick fix)

Hardware:
Ok, new drive time:
I was kind of disappointed in how the first vertex 4 went ... so it is time to kill another:
This time, I'm going to change the rules.
Drive settings:
Firmware version: 1.5
Overprovisioning: 60 GiB
Static Data: 16 GiB
I am overprovisioning the drive so it stays in performance mode permanantly. I think the constant switching between performance and storage mode, as well the garbage collection the switch caused, was making the drive use excessive write cycles.
There are many new factors that may influence the way this drive goes:
a) If the drive is using NAND in an SLC type fashion, then each erase does twice the damage over normal MLC, as each erase cycle would only be wiping one bit, rather then 2
b) The drive may take a lot less damage during writes if the NAND is being used in an SLC type fashion, as each cell is only written once each pass.
c) Reading the data may be easier if each cell is only written once. Thus the drive may last longer due to less ECC being needed.
How this ends may really be up to how the NAND behaves.
That one should be interesting!
It might help on finding out what's going on "behind the scenes" on the V4.
Over-provisioning has been on my list of things to do for quite some time, to get to the interesting parts one needs 2 drives where OP is set differently. (both could be OPd)

Yes, in a roundabout way. There was an excellent summary and re-review of the 256GB V4 (w/FW 1.5) explaining how the performance/storage mode works as well as the mimic-ing of SLC on RWL but now the link just reloads the home page. :/ The new 1.5 was supposed to extend performance mode past the 50% barrier by tweaking garbage collection as well as give a little speed bump.
