SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[gojirasan]

I don't understand all this vouching for people stuff. Is this some kind of pissing contest to see who has the most impressive credentials or something? Unless he literally has inside information as in he is a Sandforce employee or at least an OEM customer of Sandforce I don't see how it's relevant. Argument by Authority is a logical fallacy. After all we're not trying to start a religion here. Data is data. Facts are facts. If you've got 'em then I don't care if you are a janitor or Albert Einstein. Just show me the data.

groberts101, if you can't be bothered to post your data that's fine. Ao1's data seems perfectly valid to me and it sounds to me like you have some mistaken ideas about Sandforce controllers. Frankly I don't trust threads on the OCZ forum very much because the moderators there are often pretty busy deleting and trimming information they don't like or don't want to be public. They even tried to hide the whole life/warranty throttling issue at first. I do respect the fact that they eventually admitted to the throttling, but they were quite evasive about it for a while, until Tony decided to spill the beans.

As far as quoting with BBcode, it's kind of like html tags except you use brackets. So you can multi-quote manually by just copying and pasting the text you want. I'll substitute parenthesis for brackets. It's like this: (QUOTE="groberts101")stuff groberts101 wrote(/QUOTE). If you have javascript active you can use a button above the text box to put the quote tags around the text you copied. There may be an easier way, but that's more or less how I do it when I want to reply to just part of someone's post.

I was just about to post saying something like that, but you beat me to it.

Ao1 described how he did the secure erase, but it seems groberts101 cannot be bothered to read it. He seems too busy listing his credentials and rambling on than in actually reading what other people have done in their own tests. Anway, Ao1's test sounded like a valid secure erase to me.

So the question remains, if groberts101 is so knowledgeable about SF SSDs, why did Ao1's secure erase not reset the lifetime throttling?
