SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[Vapor]

So Vapor, is the Samsung 470 good or bad drive? Some of the charts make it look amazing to me while some make it look like the worst drive ever.

It burned through its MWI SMART attribute very quickly through an apparent write amplification of ~5x (which is why it looks 'bad' in many charts), but it's still going strong having written its formatted size (64GB) over 4000 times (enough for writing 64GB/59.6GiB per day for ~11 years)

Thats good to know. I wonder, is it possible the MWI attribute isnt calibrated/programed properly or something like that for the Samsung drive? Which is why the number ran out so fast, yet the NAND appears to be perfectly fine and going strong?
