That Kingston... I ended up with what I'm certain is almost identical drive, and it's not spectacular either. I tried to get an Imation S Class slc 32gb drive a while back, and I recieved an M-Class J.Micron controlled Toshiba NAND 64GB drive. It's not stellar, and has the same smart info as the Imation MTRONs. The Toshiba controller in the Kingston is just a JMicron, right?


Incidentally, the next time I take the endurance rig down for maintenance, I'm tossing in one of the MTRON 16GBs (whichever drive I can shoehorn in there). I'm probably just do biweekly updates with it, but I'm curious what will happen. I was thinking 4GB of static data (perhaps the Windows7 Install DVD). If it can hold 50MB/s plus writes, I think something interesting should happen in 2013.

The Kingston V+100 got a Toshiba controller labeled T6UG1XBG.

Hey, guys.

I'm sorry if I'm diverting the cause of this thread, or even thread crapping, but I feel like I need to ask something.

Seeing the results of your laborious review of SSD failure rate,

I am wondering whether you think that a 128GB C300 would be a better choice in terms of longevity than a 128GB M4.

I am in the market for such drive and plan on buying it later today.

They are booth good SSD. Go for the cheapest and fastest one. You can't go wrong with them.
