Notes:

a) New Endurance Testing system:
Intel i3-2120
Gigabyte Z77M-D3H motherboard.
8gig DDR3
using Intel RST driver 11.0

b) Vertex 4 has some problems with smart still:
* Seems to be counting hours fast.
* Sometimes doesn't respond with a correct remaining life value.

Maybe a later update will fix this buggyness ... but it shows the lack of polish on these controllers.

c) Intel's Matrix Raid 8.9 driver doesn't seem to support TRIM at all, and the vertex 4 was a LOT slower and buggier without TRIM. My advise would be to never use the vertex 4 on a system without trim.
