Right. Last paragraphs from that TechReport paper: ,---- | Given our limited sample size, I wouldn't read too much into exactly how | many writes each drive handled. The more important takeaway is that all | of the SSDs, including the 840 Series, performed flawlessly through | hundreds of terabytes.

So is the fact that three of our subjects have now written over a | petabyte. That's an astounding total for consumer-grade drives, and the | Corsair Neutron GTX, Samsung 840 Pro, and compressible Kingston HyperX | 3K are still going! `---- Grüße, Sven. -- Sigmentation fault.
