Re: Interesting experiment
I think a lot of SSD manufacturers are sandbagging, and using their endurance ratings as a warranty blocker. As I said in the OCZ thread the SSD Endurance Test (just google it) has shown that consumer drives, TLC included, have surpassed their rated endurance by a hell of a long way.
My feeling is that basically the manufacturers don't want you putting consumer SSDs into your data centre - they want you to pay a premium for the "pro" variants, and your punishment for using consumer SSDs in a data centre is that the drives don't have a warranty should you exceed the rated endurance.
That said I'm all for this interesting tech which increases the capacity and longevity of SSDs, even though I think that we need move away from flash into other tech still in the labs which would appear to promise even more.
