IOmeter testing

5 hour drive, might be worth the look

Is there some way to know how much "life" there is left on the NAND?

Isn't the 320GB faster than the 80GB?

The device firmware records how much data was read/written and the driver displays that info. These things basically last forever though due to grade 3 enterprise SLC NAND and their wear leveling... Something like 40 Petabytes of writes for the 80GB version, so 160PB for the 320GB unit. Reliability is one of the major selling points.

I do have $3k to blow on useless stuff right now, but an IOdrive that large.... I don't know.

Yes, the 320GB is faster at writing than the 80GB by about 200MB/s.

The device firmware records how much data was read/written and the driver displays that info.

If you flash the firmware the read/writes are set back to zero.

I bet One Hurtz is in his car right now.

I'm also betting that Intel used IOmeter for this bench, so I guess this belongs here. Interesting anyhow.
