It's a small world!
there are actually a lot of fake muskin drives around.

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
What.
@mnpeep I used Serverbear > http://bit.ly/ZZWMir (922mb/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?
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?
Smart works for linux, windows, and mac
