SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm

[canthearu]

The Mushkin went through the roof before death (RRER), dropping below threshold for two weeks before dying. The way that attribute works on SFs is kinda funny anyway, it's hard to decipher other than below threshold = bad. I also speculate that true WA was high, because it died awfully early. The raw error rate would indicate a high amount of wear on the flash, and there were few reallocs.

For your drive, I think WA was normal, but your drive was programmed for 3000 write cycle NAND. Given how cheap the Muskins were, there is a decent possibility that the NAND was a lower qualified 3k version rather then the higher qualified 5k versions. The mushkin still managed twice the MWI before dieing, which isn't too bad.

Edit: Don't forget the m4 and intel 520 would be generally getting the pick of the crop in terms of NAND quality, vs people who don't actually make the NAND themselves, getting whatever is left or whatever they are willing to pay for.
