The SSD Review have recently taken a look at the Samsung SM825 400GB Enterprise SSD:
Quote:
"Although it’s interesting to see that Samsung has chosen its own premium eMLC NAND flash memory in the SM825, we believe that it is the total write endurance that truly stands out in this enterprise class SSD.
The use of Samsung’s own hand picked e-MLC NAND flash memory enables an amazing 7000TBW (terabytes written) for the 400GB sample that we are reviewing today, followed by the 200GB with 3,500TBW and 100GB with 1,700TBW. To bring that as close as we can to the consumer side of things, a typical consumer edition mlc drive might have a total write cycle of 60TBW which is 116 times less than the 400GB Samsung SSD SM825.
The change in TBW for each capacity is directly related to the over provisioning of each which we will elaborate on a bit later. Is anyone interested in endurance testing the SM825? If so, you must definitely have spare time on your hands."
