you guys need to read more

Life curve throttle is set with the mptool, I told the world this 12 months ago (although you did have to read between the lines)

SF drives do NOT throttle for settled state, that is the normal running state and is unthrottled. The fact that an unmapped drive is faster is irrelevant to me as that lasts just a few days....marketing unfortunately has to focus on this though as it would only take 1 competitor to go against the grain and people start to think X is faster than Y etc etc.

All drives will now have active throttle, all controllers can and will do it as there are just not enough PE/c in nand to allow it to be not be set.

If you want to write more than an average desktop users daily amount to a drive you either have to set more OP, raid and add more OP to spread the load or buy enterprise drives or at the least SLC drives.

its that simple.

What life curve throttle is set to all depends on warranty period.. PE/c and how the drive is used...

sit their benching your drives and you will wear them out

Use them like normal, save downloads and games to a spinner and your ssd OS drive will last for years.

Throttle is here to stay, find ways to bypass it and you will only kill the drive MUCH FASTER. Drive logs catch full drive erases, data written etc etc, all controllers will do this. You would be amazed what the logs can tell about users habits with the drives.

The short of it is buy the drives that fit your needs, do not abuse the drives...just use them.
