SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[Christopher]

Ao1, to my knowledge, there is no other FW available. Perhaps early PM830 drives for Dell and Lenovo had other FW, but not the consumer 830. I think I could replicate the issue with another identical drive, but if you're right about throttling, then it will happen to all drives.

Why would reads get throttled at 5000PE cycles? I think after the update today, I'll do some performance benches.

(Also, the drive isn't really using all that many fewer PE cycles per day -- surely true throttling would do something more... invasive to prevent rapid PE cycle consumption)
