SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[Vapor]

A 40GB Intel 320 has six 8GiB flash packages on its circuit board. I think that five of them are used normally (five channels of the controller), and the sixth is used for the RAID-4 like XOR parity. So that would be 8GiB extra flash.

The Intel 320 40GB has 48GiB of NAND? Hmmm, that would put its WA at like 1.2x, which I find odd (being worse than the X25-V). Could that have been as a trade for speed compared to the X25-V? Does it really need 28.8% (37.27GiB usable on 48GiB NAND) spare area?

Either way, 48GiB of NAND changes the charts.
