SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[Christopher]

So it looks as though even though the M4 had no bad blocks, the NAND just couldn't hold a charge in each cell without power. If that is the case, you'd expect the Vertex Turbo to go much longer while retaining data. I guess at some point these drives just become volatile storage, but I'm more than a little surprised that the M4 never flagged any of these blocks as anything but good.


I still don't know why Crystal Disk Info keeps emailing me with [601] and [701] BAD messages, nor why Windows thinks the Mushkin is dying too. Perhaps they know something I don't?
