SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[canthearu]

Interesting news:

Seems the Patriot Torqx 2 is dead. It crashed when I upgraded the vertex 4 firmware.

Reporting CRC errors and saying drive unformatted. Will try a secure erase before declaring complete death though, but not expecting much.

On that note, I'm playing with the new vertex 4 firmware. In some ways it is impressive, in others, it is a setback. For my 55 gig endurance run, I get about 27gig written at about 375meg per sec, and the other 27gig at about 100 gig per sec.

Hopefully, OCZ can get this firmware working a bit more consistently before releasing 1.4 proper, but it has promise.
