Waiting to see tests if the new E18 controller does the same as the Samsung 980 - treat a chunk of the NAND as SLC, but have a bit of a write performance drop-off when the SLC area is done.

Nothing from intel yet?

Been looking forward to drives based on this controller may pick one up to fill my 2nd m2 slot.

Waiting to see tests if the new E18 controller does the same as the Samsung 980 - treat a chunk of the NAND as SLC, but have a bit of a write performance drop-off when the SLC area is done.

Since these are TLC drives i'm expecting it to be the same as current drives so sustained write hit should still be there. Unless they pull something new out of the hat.

From the article

"Samsung chose to go with TLC flash for its 980 Pro, a first for its Pro lineup, and it comes with surprisingly low endurance ratings. In contrast, aside from the E18's nasty performance, it also promises very high endurance capabilities as the company injected its fourth-gen LDPC ECC engine along with other data reliability tech. "

"Nasty performance" that is cute

They used a 1GiB sample? Thats just burst. My 512GB 970 Evo shows 3500MBps writes with 1GiB. Using 16GiB tells a different story.

My drive is using the E16 controller and this what I see, so I expect the E18 to produce better numbers.

Man dont run this benchmark 5 times 16 GB ?? , you just wasted 80x4=320GB from TBW endurance for nothing

these are 4 write tests of 16GB of data running 5 times !!!

This drive is rated for 1,800 TBW and its only 7 months old. And I only need to run that once!
