SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[railmeat]

That is just anecdotal evidence of failures. And it does not even include any details about the symptoms of the failures, possible reasons for failures, whether any data could be recovered, and whether the drives were replaced under warranty. Completely useless. Worse than useless, since the systematic data I have seen on failure rates of SSDs shows them to have lower failure rates than HDDs, and this article tends to imply the opposite, without having a credible methodology.

"Completely useless. Worse than useless, since the systematic data I have seen on failure rates of SSDs shows them to have lower failure rates than HDDs"

its not useless,its a eye opener.

"since the systematic data I have seen on failure rates of SSDs shows them to have lower failure rates than HDDs"

how is this even possible since ssd,s are still to new(2+yrs) to compare to tried and true veteran (6+ year old) western digital raptors...lol? and sorry raptors are thee only drives worth comparing against any ssd.





im simplying replying from facts from my life.i have had raptors since they were released (36 gigers) in raid o at $250 a pop and ran FLAWLESS for 3-4 years then the 74gigers,then i grabbed 2 raptor-x (clear top)150,s in raid,again flawless.they just last period.plug and play literally.

now as far as ssd,s go they simply have NOT been out Long enough for me to give them any real life credibility or stabilty being i bought 1 crucical c-300 and x58a gig ud3r mobo(tried both ports,all firmware on mobo and ssd done)but it died quickly,like 2 weeks or less with 0 signs of problems,wierd.but man was it fast.fine so i got a ocz vertrex limited editon 100 gig,died 1 week,got another ocz lidetical drive lasted 1 month and i was like wow its ok now,then bam stuttering,slowing down,non-responsive ALOT,had enough and returned that 1 as well.heres my link.are they FAST?...omgosh yes but i simply still dont trust them period for good reasons i witnessed myself 3x.i still think its the intels chipset and not the drives problem reading the ssd instruction set on the ssd controller.i will let time pass,more tests done,let more bugs be worked out.im a gamer,not a guina pig for hardware.need stabilty.

this is NOT a isolated instance and needs not to be down played as one,just the facts being diff ssd,s died period and shows me i was not doing something wrong with my 3 ssd,s i gave a chance.

"Portman Wills, friend of the company and generally awesome guy, has a far scarier tale to tell. He got infected with the SSD religion based on my original 2009 blog post, and he went all in. He purchased eight SSDs over the last two years … and all of them failed. The tale of the tape is frankly a little terrifying:"


•Super Talent 32 GB SSD, failed after 137 days
•OCZ Vertex 1 250 GB SSD, failed after 512 days
•G.Skill 64 GB SSD, failed after 251 days
•G.Skill 64 GB SSD, failed after 276 days
•Crucial 64 GB SSD, failed after 350 days
•OCZ Agility 60 GB SSD, failed after 72 days
•Intel X25-M 80 GB SSD, failed after 15 days
•Intel X25-M 80 GB SSD, failed after 206 days
You might think after this I'd be swearing off SSDs as unstable, unreliable technology. Particularly since I am the world's foremost expert on backups."


i like this thread alot and watching it closely and slowly watching 99-98-97-96-95 on this 1 drive being tested from the op.u dont think i wanna EASILY run out and grab a ocz vertex3 right now.im waiting and letting time prove itself with these drives...

lack of communication is the problem here.intel/amd and all of the major ssd controller manufactuers need to spend ALOT more time together in the labs then a quick "hotfix"
