SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

As One_Hertz said, the SMART data is apparently in TB. And outside of Windows, I have seen most programs use the units correctly. Certainly most linux programs don't have the Windows bug of displaying incorrect units. Many of the linux command line utilities allow a choice of which units to display.

GParted displays in GiB and TiB. Palimpsest (linux disk management util) displays in TB and bytes, so you can see it is using the correct unit labels. GSmartControl displays in TB, TiB, and Bytes.

The difference between TB and TiB is significant and worth paying attention to, IMO. It is about a 10% difference, so I don't want to get it wrong...

Didn't know SMART was using and displaying as TB, figured it was playing into the Windows scheme (which I don't mind...TB as 1000*GB has no use, IMO). And yeah, the difference is pretty big in the TB/TiB range...this is definitely something we need clarification on, I've been under the impression that all utilities report TiB, regardless of what they call it.

Easy enough to fix as long as I know what, specifically, is broken.

EDIT: I have all the charts in my spreadsheet fixed to TiB assuming that SMART reads out TB in all drives so far (so every drive is adjusted except the Samsung 470). Is it a correct assumption that SMART = TB universally? I don't want to keep posting updated charts that are wrong
