Hi Chris,
Presume the MLC has higher endurance-didn't see it mentioned.

Have a request-
You did your round-up of ramless drives(that sit just above the lemons) how about-
BOOT DRIVES.
Most of us use a small SSD as boot drive backed up by lots spinning rust.
It's not that long ago they would be 120GB drives-since the eol of the Samsung
120GB EVO think 240/275 is probably the most common now.
Guessing they would mainly be MLC,3D and perhaps 750EVO and Sandisc ultra2.
My line in the sand is usually-min 8000-4K-IOPS-QD1 Read,and I like to see at
least 200MB sequential write after any buffer so as not to bottleneck spinning rust.
Thanks

I've kicked around the idea of writing a 128GB roundup since we haven't covered the capacity for two years. There are some challenges I haven't been able to overcome.

Hi Chris,
As per my earlier post I think 240/275 is probably the minimum for a boot drive
today-with 850 PRO being the only exception,and when you look at the price-
it makes more sense to get a larger drive.

What happens if you rapidly flick that switch while benchmarking?
