SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[Christopher]

Ao1,

V4 128GB Intel 29F64G08ACME3
Octane 128GB Intel 29F64G08ACME2

The 830 really has 6, and not 12, reallocation events. Somehow, the 830's used reserved block count attribute is double runtime bad block count. Reallocated sector count is 2048 x Used Reserve.

Not sure why this is, exactly as I don't think it's using 2MB blocks, but I don't think it's had 12 reallocations regardless.


Anvil,

I just think Plextor couldn't add a traditional MWI. Like the Octane, the M3P is just using reallocations to determine MWI (the pre 1.03FW already possessed a reallocated sector count). This would have been much easier to add then a "real" MWI counter. All in all, I was very excited to see all the new attributes in 1.03, but it looks as though they're mostly useless (aside from the write counter).
