You obviously haven’t been following the endurance thread. So far out of the 4 different SF vender drives that have been tested only OCZ drives have been throttled.

Intel specify what work load is covered by the 5 year warranty. If you exceed that by an excessive margin you void the warranty.

Regardless of how unlikely it is that someone could induce throttling the word "enthusiast" and "throttling" don’t mix.

What is the proprietary Indilinx Ndurance Technology by the way? Another form of throttling writes? If an Octane was put in the endurance thread will it become throttled at some stage?
