"That said, SanDisk claims the 240GB drive should be able to withstand 160TB of data writes, which is supposedly "sufficient for over 100 years of typical user usage."

It would be good if the warranty was 1/20 of it. It seems that SSD manufacturers are not very confident in their numbers, based on their 1 year warranties.

Is TR still working on a RAID review on SSD's? The prices are starting to flirt with "reasonable."

As always, beware SSDs that quote STR only and provide no specs for IOPS (particularly writes in the 4K-256K range). And... "anticipated sequential performance"? I guess they're still tweaking their controller electronics.
