SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[Ao1]

For sure it would appear from testing in this thread that the grade of NAND used in Intel/ Micron/ Samsung SSD’s is superior to what others like $OCZ can buy on the open market, but that does not explain everything. So far the 520 has behaved much better than any other SF based drive. The premature block failures of the Octane/ Petrol drives are occurring before the P/E cycles have hardly been touched. It’s almost like something is accelerating/ inducing damage to the NAND. (Maybe it’s the overclock).

So what gives with the V4? Is it a form of throttling that causes write speed to drop by half? Someone must know, but no one is saying anything. If it was an Intel/ Micron/ Samsung/ Toshiba product the world and his dog would be screaming about it from the rooftops.
