SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[Christopher]

minipayne,

I do have a another X25-E 32 on the way (on its way via UPS), but it would take... Years. As in at least a few - to test. The 40GB Intel drives have well exceeded their PE cycle ratings. Who is to say that an X25-E wouldn't last 2x the PE rating? And, I believe the 32GB actually has 40GB of SLC as well, meaning its overprovisioned a fair amount out of the box. So, I think testing an E would be a time commitment I'm just not willing to make.

I am trying to get a Plextor though. The first drive I tested was a SF2281 with Toshiba toggle. The Samsung is Toggle NAND, and the a 64GB Plextor would be interesting (Marvell + Toggle) as a counterpoint to the other two drives.
