That seems like a bug to me. I can see having a "grace period" for not throttling the drive under heavy writes. But it makes no sense to have a "grace period" for MWI. I have seen no evidence that the flash wears out more slowly during the first few percent of flash writes.

I'm surprised Intel did not fix that bug. Maybe Intel does not really have full access to the Sandforce firmware.
