For the past few months, we have been putting three Intel X25-M SSDs through
their paces in long-term real world usage scenarios. The results were
surprising to say the least. We explore the internals of these drives as to
determine the cause and attempt solutions of varying difficulties.

Quote: "Dozens of different scenarios were played out on our drives. XP /
Vista installs, repeated application / game installs, batch copying of
files, and custom IOMeter access patterns were all liberally applied to the
X25-M. Various combinations of the above all seemed to point to one common
denominator - all three of our SSDs suffered a drop in performance
regardless of the type of workload applied to them. The next sections will
explore the issues at hand while simultaneously addressing any steps that
can be done to counter the effects at play."

Thanks for a post!
