I'm really impressed on the write speed of this old Indilinx drive from beginning to end of loop...

I ran my 60GB Agility for about 8 hours, and it wasn't nearly so fast, but still fast in it's own right, and still fast for a 64GB drive:



The big difference is the move from Samsung to Intel NAND.

Really amazing that the Indilinx just keeps on going. I expected it to have died by now etc.

With TRIM, I'd expect the M225 -> Vertex Turbo to last as long as (at least) as the M4.

The only problem with the Indilinx controller is poor 4K performance. OCZ claims they're going to release their Arrowana FW for Indilinx's with Intel NAND, and that 4K performance will be increased 500%.

I think that same poor 4K performance will end up making the Turbo last longer in this test.
