SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[Christopher]

sounds like the crashing of the drive is a typical SF crash. Your description of the restarts is about on par with everything that i have read on the ongoing SF issues.

I poked around the interwebs, but I mostly saw descriptions of hard freezes/BSODing and not spontaneous resets, where the drive shows in the BIOS, but the UEFI can't find the OS (until a full manual power cycle). It just won't happen while I'm sitting in front of it. I feel pretty confident that under my typical desktop and laptop usage, I'd not encounter the issue. I made a post about it in the Mushkin forums, but that's probably not the place to go. Unsurprisingly, no one else there is encountering issues while writing 10+ TB a day

The Mushkin is my sole experience with Sandforce, so I did some looking around while I was waiting on it, and found that most users on the OCZ forums were getting freezes and then BSODs. I'm looking around now -- but I'm thinking I should probably use another drive as the OS drive like Anvil is. Anvil said a few posts back that he was having a similar problem, but his drive is secondary. I'm using the Mushkin as the system drive while pounding it, which is probably just asking for trouble.
