Ooo, a new drive

Need to dot some I's and cross some T's first though

What kind of static data do you have? Most of us (all of us?) are running with our drives ~60-70% full of static data and with minimum free space of 12GiB in Anvil's app (Anvil's app will fill the drive until only that much is free, then delete and refill). I see you're running 36GiB free, which leads me to believe 0 static data and a very short run lengths of ~1.25GiB (your drive has only ~37.25GiB user capacity, AFAIK).

What compression setting in Anvil's app? Anything but 0-fill (and probably 8%) is preferred for SandForce drives. Incompressible isn't necessary as SMART attribute E9 tracks NAND writes. Based on NAND writes, we can figure out P/E cycles; it isn't a SMART attribute with SandForce drives.

MD5 can be enabled at any time

I see that's actually a Force 40-A, but I don't know what that means for the 40GB variety but every other -A version is 25nm IMFT. I wasn't aware there were 40GB 25nm drives in the wild, could be interesting

And last but not least, are you okay with Lifetime Throttle (LTT) kicking in? It's likely that in a couple weeks your drive will slow to a crawl and will attempt to force the drive to last for a very long time (no idea what Corsair set this timespan for, however).
