And, Frank, you have hit the nail on the head as to why I remain
concerned about the long-term reliability of SSDs. It takes a lot of
hardware logic and a serious amount of extra flash memory to go from
100,000 PROGRAM/ERASE cycles to an MTBF of 2,000,000 hours (228
years). Maybe flash with far more than 100,000 cycles? Or maybe
some smoke and mirrors? Engineering design by Bernard Madoff? I'd
like somebody to explain with a good solid coherent explanation and
real math computations.
We will all stay tuned for real world stories of how these SSDs hold
up under regular use... Ben Myers
