( I'm not sure if any other manufacturers released newer FWs lately ).
So your V3's writes to NAND (E9) have gone up substantially, so much that actual writes to NAND are now outstripping host writes(F1)???

I don't think that's possible. In a worst case scenario where you workload is 100 percent random, F1 and E9 should be the same and increase at the same rate. You can't have more writes to NAND than you have in host writes. Most of the time writes to NAND should be between ~75 to ~85 percent of host writes. I could see why you'd be alarmed though...

Unless your workload has some crazy amount of write amplification, and that amplification shows up in NAND writes (I don't think it does), I don't see how it's possible without some sort of error. With SF, your WA should be well below 1 on a client system, and in reality it should be around .7 with Windows.

Can you post a screen shot from CrystalDiskInfo?
