the retention test is a good idea, don't forget to update to fw 0309 (or 000f)
to prevent the "5K hours bug"

Thank you
I'm going to wait it out until I'm closer to 5K hours. With so much P/E used I might not see 5K hours.

An SSD getting into a true Read-Only state is what we have been "told" or told our-selves would happen, it does not look to happen in the real-world.
Even if it did, data-retention would make unplugging the drive a high risk sport.

On the other hand, if there is a chance that someone implemented a Read-Only state I'd say the odds are good on Intel and Micron.

So, it's a tough one, I'm set on performing a test next weekend, it may end in "tears" though
(if it makes it through the test there will be no more retention testing on the V)
Ok. I'll do something similar. I'll start the retention test today with both the G1 and m4. It'll be 12, 24 and 48h and it'll be the last for the m4 while the G1 will get more with 200 TiB intervals for now.
