Re: Windows XP SSD tweaks?

"nospam nospam.>> non-volatile memory chips.

That's exactly correct, Jim.

That is just amazing, Jack...

MTBF is for the device, not for individual R/W segments on the > device.

So you think the read/write "segments" on the device are different than the device, Jack?

A SSD has no moving parts, so it's MTBF spec is very misleading.

BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!

Please... Somebody, anybody, provide a citation that suggests solid-state device MTBF figures are less accurate than physical devices. I have a difficult time believing anyone could be that much of a bullshit artist.

Thanks.

For any new readers... The argument is not that SSD device MTBF figures are accurate. Currently, the argument is about some apparently bizarre reasons why the MTBF figures are inaccurate. The figures might be inaccurate, but more evident is that the two quoted authors are clueless morons with zero credibility.
