No.. not at all despite the swearing and useless posturing. Just frustrated at the level of most to open the mind to what's being presented by one members drive in this particular instance. But "mad" as in crazy?.. for sure.. and one only needs to see my driving record and street racing creds to agree. lol
I guess I could clearly see the fact that most have never seen a drive that has this amount of writing inflicted to it and just about anything is possible with these complex controllers.
I'm even very tempted to start my own thread just to discredit this new theory of a true "lifetime throttle" being implemented. Unfortunately that would cost me the use of 1 of my 34nm nand Vertex 2 drives which I so highly rely on for incresing my time saved with this vid/gfx machine and I doubt my appetite for knowledge of such things would be worth the tradeoff. I know I would just use sequential incompressible data streams in continuous loops to do it much faster though.
I would also do away with TRIM(not that it does much in good for recovery of fresh blocks "real time" anyways), but one less variable to muck things up. Random data doesn't serve much purpose to wear these drives out either since there are often partial blocks/nand being written to and that much more overhead for the controller to have to rotate and consolidate them later on. Ohh yeah.. these drives also consolidate data quite well at the physical level too. And that's regardless of TRIM availability. But that's neither here nor there at this point as I really am spent trying to help the OP.
And only the one's who resemble that penis remark should take offense. lol
