SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[Christopher]

I can give you a .csv file showing all my blocks and their current erase count. I can even spit out total erase count for each Bank. Want them?

How do you do that?
I was just looking at the SMART data...

I noticed that your avg. was very close to your maximum (235/7574/7203avg). Mine were a lot worse before putting down some endurance writes. My drive's averages are sitting at ~550 min, ~4000 max, and ~1700 avg.

I think TRIM makes a big difference in the wear average with Indilinx drives, which makes sense. Mine was used for most of it's life in a Vista x86, Dell Latitude D630 system, which is how I explain the much greater WA and block wear differential.

Links below for ya. First one is the data for my M225. The second is a program called SmartViewer for use with Indilinx drives.

Keep in mind that the mininum erase can be very low due to block failing (CDI attrib. C3 and C4) at a low erase count. Also, some blocks show zero erases because they are intitial bad blocks (B8).

Thanks, Bluestang.

That's pretty awesome.

The mushkin didn't make it here today, will be here in about 20 hours.


Those things rare as hen's teeth @60GB. Newegg had some for a couple days, but are sold out, and direct from mushkin may be the only place to get them now that they're up on mushkin.com.
