Sandforce Life Time Throttling

[groberts101]

Your guess would probably be correct as far as the small lags you guys are seeing is concerned. The more the drive must do?.. the more overhead and losses would result.

Everyone interested in Sandforce should also keep in mind that just beecause TRIM commands are sent/marked immediately?.. has absolutely squat to do with "when" the controller decides to recover/release those back into the fresh block pool. TRIM released blocks are more often then not recovered during low activity idle times. Often called "lazy TRIM" by some users. Hence, the excellent GC recovery that's found with ocassional logoff idles with power remaining to the drive(S1 sleeps).
