Hi Vitaly,

Maybe this will be of interest:

"Tests show modern SSDs can handle a thousand years of use"

http://www.engadget.com/2014/12/05/ssd-2-petabytes-of-data/

I have a couple of Samsung 840 Pros in RAID 0 which can write at something like 800 MB/s - 1 GB/s. At least, fast enough to write a stream of USB3 data without choking. So far, so good. Also have OCZ Vertex 4s in a similar setup which have been fine so far - mostly I use these as a large temp cache for camera capture and tomographic reconstruction. I haven't done a serious benchmark comparing the two.

>> Dear List,
>> Have you compared and/or tested performance of OCZ RevoDrive 350, OCZ Z drive 4500 and Intel's SSD P3700 PCIe SSDs when handling 100 GB+ incompressible data sets for transient data processing coupled with 2-3 single, non-raid SSDs for multi-threaded data caching? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
>> Thank you.
