I just hammered the thing with 170GB of writes, 110GB of which were 4kb random writes through iometer. There is ZERO performance drop. It does NOT degrade. I do not understand what must be done to force it to degrade if 170gb of writes does nothing. The access times are the same, winsat is the same, random reads/writes are the same, etc.... I wonder if they recently added trim... I am on W7 x64.
It would be pretty easy for them to add their own TRIM because their driver is filesystem aware... All it has to do is keep the unused sectors fresh, which is what it seems to be doing.
edit: OhI was in improved write performance mode and I didn't notice. Writing another 100+GB while using full capacity...
