SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[Christopher]

Australia. A-RAM isn't a big brand here either, but one of the online stores here had stock of the sandforce 1 drives and was a bit cheaper then the OCZ drive, so I went with it.

The Chronos Deluxe 60 might not have faired that well at the end, but hell, it was quick getting there ..... much quicker then my Intel 520 is proving to be!

Well that makes sense. The Samsung 830 64GB was ripping off 11,000GB a day for a while. It's on hiatus for a while, but it should have some good times still ahead.

The Chronos Deluxe 60 is a beast, but suffers from the SF problem -- it's write speeds are nowhere near peak (for a couple reasons, but if you've ever seen a graph of SF writes you'll understand why). My CD60 was putting in 10,000GB a day host writes, but only 7300GB NAND writes. Hopefully I'll have some drives that beat the doors off it shortly. I got a new Vertex Turbo on the way (which won't be that fast), but who knows what surprises tomorrow may hold? I've been sitting on a few candidates for a while, but I can only run so many drives at once, and the Vertex Turbo and the MTRON (and the 64GB Samsung 830 eventually) are already gonna take up some spots in the endurance rig.
