SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[Christopher]

One might say it has no reservations about it.

You could auction the drive on Ebay -- Intel 320 40GB NO RESERVE!


Still, I'm a little confused... if the drive would theoretically become RO at Reserve Space = 0, couldn't you keep over provisioning the drive until nothing is left? Like a popsicle melting?

You could OP by a few GB, then when that gets trashed, you could OP again. Lather, rinse, repeat. Because of the wear on every cell, each time you'd get less and less additional time, but you should still be able to extend the drive's life considerably.


QUESTION?
Why does Crystal Disk Info report an Intel drive's life as being 100% when the MWI is at 99 or 98 (or possible lower)?
