Hi Ryder,

I ran a secure erase from the OCZ toolbox 3 or 4 times and it did not clear the throttling.

In post #252 write speeds came back after a couple of hours idling, but within an hour the write speeds went back to a crawl.

Prior to that happening the drive chugged along nicely writing continuously for 7 days.

I have now been running Anvil's app for 5 hours and write speeds have remained stable and within the parameters of the 1st 7 days of running the app. I will continue to run the app to see what happens next.

Does the OCZ Toolbox secure erase do the same job as hdderase?

If you can erase the Duraclass lifetime throttling (by inducing even more wear with a secure erase) what purpose does it serve?
