Corsair Neutron & Neutron GTX: All Capacities Tested

Our new light workload actually has more write operations than read operations. The split is as follows: 372,630 reads and 459,709 writes. The relatively close read/write ratio does better mimic a typical light workload (although even lighter workloads would be far more read centric).
The I/O breakdown is similar to the heavy workload at small IOs, however you'll notice that there are far fewer large IO transfers:
| AnandTech Storage Bench 2011—Light Workload IO Breakdown | ||||
| IO Size | % of Total | |||
| 4KB | 27% | |||
| 16KB | 8% | |||
| 32KB | 6% | |||
| 64KB | 5% | |||
As our Light suite is more read centric, the benefit of more and faster NAND is smaller. All except the 120GB Neutron perform almost equally and even the 120GB Neutron is only ~16% behind whereas in our Heavy suite it was as much as 30% slower than the larger capacities.

So, you're saying Anandtech is unable to verify Samsung's power usage claims — completely.That's very interesting.

"That line of thinking is flawed. If you're only catering to desktop users, why even present the power consumption figures at all?"Of course. This is a very interesting line of thinking, isn't it?
1. Samsung provides only extra special "mobile" figures that are extremely low at .13 (830 512 GB) and .14 (840 512 GB).
2. Samsung, if Anandtech is to be believed, is providing not particularly interesting data, since their charts apparently don't apply to mobile usage.
3. According to Anandtech, desktop users don't care about SSD power usage and so Anandtech only cares about desktop SSD power usage (hence the existence of charts/comparisons/commentary).
It's all quite fascinating.

from article:"While 240/256GB is undoubtedly the most popular capacity at the moment...'
Most 120/128's outsell their larger stablemates almost 2 to1 in some cases. 240/256's are the most popular to be REVIEWED cuz they pump out the best numbers. That may change n the future...say another year...year and a half.

Can anybody who have dealt with manufacturers claiming for warranty.. what does warranty actually mean?Like we all know that the ssds fail without notice and without any reason,, so if i ask the manufacturer for a replacement of the ssd within the warranty,.. will they replace the drive?
Performance does not matter to me all that much,,, but reliability of ssds not failing.. atleast for like 2-3 years of good use.. is what concerns me.. and ofcourse if manufacturers would replace failed ssds.
Thanks
