SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[Christopher]

johnw,

You might have your opportunity to pick up a Cherryville 60 sooner than we had previously believed.

If this is to be believed, it's release is imminent, sometime in the next 3 weeks probably. (I'll believe it when I see it though.)

Intel, you know I'm going to buy one -- even if it's just an over-priced SF2281 with 25nm IMFT. You know, just like the ones that have been around since May.

Concerning the 470 vs. 830, here is what Anand Lal Shrimpi wrote in his 512GB 830 review

Just as we saw in Crucial's move to the m4 it looks like random read speed actually dropped a bit between the SSD 470 and 830. And just as we mentioned before, most desktop workloads don't demand super high 4KB random read performance so if this move was done to improve the 830's behavior elsewhere then it is a worthwhile tradeoff. Even with the drop however the 830 delivers the fastest 4KB random read performance of any high-end drive we've reviewed.

I have no frame of reference, since I don't own a 470. The comparison becomes more clouded since the 830 review samples were all 256/512.
