SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[bulanula]

After the crash early last night, it looks like it crashed again probably somewhere around 4am or 5am. The really annoying thing is, the system crashes and reboots, but the BIOS can't find the OS, so it just sits at a black screen with the error message until I get there to to physically turn it off/on again. After a soft reboot it still can't find the OS, so I have to physically turn the system off.

I was running it with 5 min GiB free space, so maybe it's hanging on the delete section. I was kinda trying to get that to happen, but only while I was sitting in front of the system.

The last time I checked before the overnight crash it had crept up to a little over 124MBs. I'm still really liking this drive. OWC makes a 240GB version of this drive but it uses the 2282 SF controller, and is probably the fastest drive out there at the moment.

Typical SandForce controller behaviour. Just disappears out of the blue. That is why I choose to avoid SF controllers. Why no major vendor took on SF ? Only small rebranders like Corsair, OCZ, Mushkin etc. Because it is too untested etc. At least that is my opinion.

Everybody trying to make a quick buck with untested Sandforce controllers. Only controllers like Intel or Samsung are really tested properly by big companies. SF cannot afford that. With SF, the vendors ( OCZ mostly etc. ) and the customers test the drives so the profit is bigger. You are basically opting in to be guinea pigs with SF.
