SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[Computurd]

The point is this: the underlying technologies are making these shrinks more viable. It isnt always about the P/E, or just the 'endurance'. a controller that is smarter, and utilizes its NAND far better, more than makes up for it.
Integrated ECC and other techs are also making your data more secure, with each and every generation.

as i posted elsewhere on the forum, they arent going to make drives that last considerably shorter amounts of time, and then try to sell them to Enterprise users, or regular users for that matter.
If they make these devices with small lifespans, no one will use them, thus making the billions and billions spent making the advancements, useless. a fools folly to invest these billions in R&D and then fabs, just to try to "trick" joe schmo, not to mention the multimillion/billion dollar corporations that use these devices, and have teams of guys with degrees researching every large purchase.
They do all this so that some guys on a forum run some tests and finds out about the big "conspiracy" and blows the lid off of it? then they lose all that money? yeah right.

it doesnt, and isnt going to, work that way. They arent that stupid.
comparing MAXiops v V3 is not wise anyway, that is totally price gouged. Also, who is to say the endurance of the MAXiops IS really better>? does it have integrated ECC? is that controller designed and optimized for that nand? or is it just a marketing gimmick to sell some more drives?

If I am buying a device with half the write capacity it should be half the price to give the same value.

thats the point your missing my friend. it doesnt have half the write capacity. The P/E ratio is one factor amongst many that determine the drives endurance. You arent looking past P/E. Much like the saying "One cant see the woods, because the trees are in the way"

What I expect this testing to show is that the traditional estimates based on process size are more or less wild-assed guesses

quite the opposite. highly educated guesses that are probably set extremely low, simply to cover their ass.
