Someone tested Corsair's Neutron GTX 240GB, and was able to write 1.1PB to it.

Since I've had my One M7 and M8, HTC rolls out regular service packs to their phones, even if the phone isn't the latest version of Sense/Android. VZW isn't all that quick with the updates.

 

1.1PD is so much data!! That's amazing the SSD could take it.

VZW SUCKS with updates. I normally patch everything with ODIN once Samsung releases it.

 

That's pretty impressive, especially the two drives that wrote over 2PB, but also isn't the best benchmark because it doesn't represent a real-world load. NAND write endurance depends a lot on use pattern.

 

The second page of that article says the Samsung 840 Pro 256GB died after 2.4PB of writes!

 

I'm not concerned, I don't use hangouts and the Nexus 6 is Vanilla OS. So I don't have to wait on manufacturing updates. Googles always updating this phone.

 

I feel better now. That's what I'm running in RAID0 I just setup. I have my security camera's snapping pic's to them and its taking around 10k-20k pic's a day.

 

How many drives?

 

Just 2.

 

Nice. You should try running the whole OS out of RAM.

 

hummm.. Worth a shot, but I think I'll try that Linux vs Winblows.

 

I know you can use special software to load some parts of Windows to RAM, but not the whole OS, even if you had to RAM to do so.

I had done it with Linux. I modified the initramfs to copy everything in to RAM, and to periodically sync changes back to the SSD.

 

I might try this on my Mac Mini running Ubuntu. It's got 16 gigs of ram.

 

Ubuntu is some cool stuff

 

I love it. To me its a great blend and has lots of features.

 

I prefer pure Debian.

 

Never tried it. What makes it awesome?

 

It's Ubuntu with training wheels. You should try it..

 

Do you always try to be a douche or just does it come natural to you?

 

You may already know this, but if not, Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian.

I guess it comes down to a matter a preference. I find Debian less bloated than Ubuntu. Even from a minimal install, Ubuntu packages seem to bring in more dependencies than equivalent Debian packages. I don't care for the fixed release model, or the sudo thing either.
