14 I mentioned that in the other thread ("SDD, what features..."), I plan
15 to sum up the articles tomorrow. I'd guess he means that test ;)

21 If you mean TBW by "lifetime": All above factor 2, best: over 18. Ok,
22 those were the "brand models" (1 Crucial, 1 OCZ (Toshiba), 2 Samsung
23 and 2 Sandisk, and 2 drives of each model)...
24
25 Fun fact: one of the test PCs died and killed two of the 3 remaining
26 SSDs, the second Sandisk Extreme Pro (the first had died already) and
27 the first Samsung 850 Pro. The remaining second Samsung 850 Pro in the
28 other Test-PC was still being hammered 4.5 months later with 8 PeBi
29 written (all drives were 240/256 GB), but showing first "Uncorrectable
30 Errors" via SMART.
31
32 The test also included the failure mode as well, e.g. "dead as a
33 brick" in a moment, warning signs via SMART, failure to write but
34 still readable etc.
35
36 The mag followed that up with a test of el-cheapo SSDs ... which I'll
37 include in my summary.
