Interesting SSD report - The death march
-
This experiment sought to find out by writing a near-constant stream of data to Corsair's Neutron GTX 240GB, Intel's 335 Series 240GB, Kingston's HyperX 3K 240GB, Samsung's 840 Series 250GB, and Samsung's 840 Pro 256GB.

That was a good read, I thought. Thanks for sharing.

Important to note that these are consumer drives.

Even so, all the more impressive.

How much data they handled? Absolutely.

for a relatively new technology I"m impressed by the way most failed predictably and gracefully

I saw this on SW and everyone was freaking out saying they would never use SSD based SANs because of this report.. People's Logic makes no sense.

As long as you can see the SMART data from the SAN there's no reason to avoid it.

Well SSDs used in SANs are vastly different. Heck there even some enterprise SSDs well over 1TB (with a $10,000 + price tag)

Yup, the average SMB IT person has a serious issue understanding stats and how to apply information to the real world.
