The Samsung 830 will be here on Monday, barring any freak blizzards.

I'll run some benchmarks on it, then put it to work.

For now, I think I'll continue to take a screen shot of SMART attributes. Then, I'll put each day's values in an Excel spreadsheet. I figure that approach will leave me covered until we can devise a new plan.

I was thinking that for a while we could utilize SkyD(r)ive, but just dump each drives' values into it's own sheet in the workbook.

A truly fantastic addition to something like SSDlife would be a way for it to dump SMART values into a CSV text file so you could easily automate the process... but for now we'll just have to do it the old fashioned way.

For the record, I'm expecting the 830 to perform very similarly to a 64GB M4, with possibly the exception of some higher sequential writes. I'm just guessing, but I'd say that it will sustain about 8TB a day in ASU.
