SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[johnw]

Doing a quick search, there seems to only be a handful of users with this issue and pcreview got their SSD to this state by power cycling it for 2-3 hours straight, which no user would ever do. This is a completely insignificant problem.

That is not at all clear. It could be that the probability of the bug occurring is constant for each power cycle. So every time you power cycle the SSD, you may be risking the bug. Certainly there are people posting about the bug in the thread I linked who only power cycled a few times.

We also don't know what the return rates are for the 320s. Maybe in a few months we will see how prevalent this bug is. In the meantime, I do not like the way Intel has handled it. That I know for certain.
