    Seems like a rare case. The M4 is known to be one of the most reliable SSDs in the market. Also, my memory is a bit fuzzy, but I believe this was known issue and they released a firmware update promptly after finding this out?

    I've been running two 64 gig M4s for over 2 years now, with no issues. I usually abuse the crap out of them and they still work like new.

    That's what I thought as well. When the thing happened (latest FW), I immediately called Crucial and ask for a RMA, since I was sure it must be a fault in my unit. The funny thing what surprised me was the totally laid-back and relaxed atmosphere as they've explained that these things are perfectly normal. From that I thought I might not be alone with this, so if this is considered normal, I prefer not to buy an other Crucial again.

    I would avoid Kingston. We've had a ton of them fail. A customer of ours wanted a bunch of them as OS drives, and we've had to RMA quite a few them.

    Cheap-as-dirt OCZ SSD from newegg in my laptop has been perfect since June 2012. Just my $0.02 ;)

    We use the Samsung 840 Pro's and get about 950-1000Mb/s in a RAID10 configuration.

    What DD test are you using?

    I get about the same on a 1GB file in 8MB sectors.

    With serverbear's DD test, I get about 650mb/s

    I used Raid 10 Samsung 840 pro and i like it here is the test result

    [root@D05 ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync 16384+0 records in 16384+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 1.41293 s, 760 MB/s

    @Brightbull @key900

    Probably something to do with the RAID card then, I'll make some adjustments once the actual server is online.

    What RAID card are you using? How many SSDs?

  • BrandonBrandon Member

    Do you guys know of any tools I can use to check how much juice I have left on my SSDs?

    You can use SMART to figure that out, that's how I do it.

    For Windows though?
