I'll make it short and sweet, for everyone's benefit: The Good: SLC baby... The 100GB version comes with 1.75PB endurance. With a three year warranty, that is 16 full drive writes per day. Optane territory in 2012. Its firmware has TRIM option and "SANITIZE feature set" (BLOCK_ERASE_EXT and OVERWRITE_EXT, both working). Decent Marvell controller, doesn't saturate the SATA III interface though (470MB/s reads, 380MB/s writes with 128KB blocks). The Bad: Puny size by today standards (tops at 200GB). Not supported by Micron's "Storage Executive". Mine came with "0006" firmware version, and I have no clue if that's the latest one or not, for whom it was made... Don't think to put them in an old laptop (the top label says 5V/2A). Long out of warranty. The firmware exposes "Total LBAs read", but not the LBAs written. The Ugly: With the race to the bottom (TLC/QLC), SLC drives are pieces of museum or blood curling pricewise (the current enterprise ones). If you are a Linux/BSD tinkerer and find them reasonable priced, go for it. Micro$oft's users need not apply, that bloated abomination can't fit inside (and it doesn't deserve either).
