SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[Ao1]

The Marvell 9174 controller has been used by Micron (C400), Corsair (Performance Series 3) and Intel (510) Oh and one other vendor that prefers to remain anonymous.

Each vendor has used customised firmware, although there are close similarities in the SMART values if you look carefully. Although the controller is the same each vendor uses different hardware configurations. The Intel for example has only 128MB Hynix DDR3-1333 SDRAM. Different NAND geometries & specification etc.

Performance of the 510 is however very similar to the Octane. The Smart values for the Performance Series 3 are also quite similar to the Octane. Strange.
