The drives are fully operational, One_Hertz has done a full pattern test on his drive and I've still got the OS on mine so I'm going to boot on it and run the test on the original pc where it all started.
I've implemented the MD5 stuff, I just need to make some options for it.

This is almost exactly how I'm using my SF drives, they are just perfect for this kind of setup.

Well, it seems there is no point on doing endurance tests on the consumer SF drives, we'd have to get to a drive without the warranty option set. (throttling disabled)
