What is the current average lifetime on one of these SSDs?

9-11 years if you write 50 Gigabytes of data to it everyday :) Don't worry about reading data from it, flash devices (like an SSD) have basically an infinite number of read cycles. Hope this helped!

This is what it says on the warranty sheet: " *Sandisk's 5-year Limited Warranty*: The Sandisk SSD is covered by this warranty for five (5) years from the date of purchase, subject to the applicable warranty from terms and conditions, as defined in www.sandisk.com/wug *5-Year warranty in regions not recognizing "Limited". * " So, I guess just go on their website and check it out? Hope that helps!

Its like 540 and 520... (capable). I have a pretty fast computer and I actually get about 280 & 260.... But compared to my regular hard drive which got about 80 & 65.... I don't recall what the warranty is.....

In the case of the two drives I just purchased through Amazon but sold/shipped by "New World IT", the drives were manufactured 2-2011 and only have 1 year left on the manufacturer's warranty. Considered returning but since they were so cheap and for the specific purpose I need them for isn't critical, I'm keeping them.

Yes, I think the one (1) year warranty is correct. I replaced my harddrive recently, 1.3 years after purchase, but I think that may be due to a bad virus that my firewall & virus program didn't catch. I used that opportunity and ut in a larger and faster HD, which made the laptop even faster. After 1.5 years the laptop battery is still lasting between 4 to 5 hours, which is still a great performance.

The drive has a 5-year warranty and is provided by OCZ Storage Solutions - A Toshiba Group Company. The old OCZ Technology SSD assets were acquired by Toshiba last year and OCZ now operates as a subsidiary of Toshiba - a really good thing in my opinion as they were a small level fabless company before and now have the backing of a major, stable company. If you need help of any kind you can contact the ocz support forum (awesome IMO) or talk to plain tech support here: http://ocz.com/consumer/support

I can't speak for Life Span on this particular drive since I only have it for a month. So far, the unit work beautifully on my macbook pro 17" 2009. To be honest with you, I don't use it differently from the stock HD. I unplug the power cord, fold and put in my bag without quitting apps or shutting down and it wake up just fine. I can't even advise any Do & Don't for you. I've heard people concerning sleep mode issue and so on... The reason I pulled for this SSD. I've worked as a graphic artist for the last 18 years on apple macintosh. I've seen many HDD failed over the years. We've upgraded all our 9 mac pros to SSD since 2010. We use our macs 24/7 for production and they're very reliable and fast compare to stock HDD. So far, one failed after 2 years. Base on these facts, I can't imagine going back to HDD again. Yes, It's not 100% just like an airplane and that's why you always backup your stuffs. Finally, SSD 2014 are much improve than 2010. The # won't lie and I would buy with confident. Thank you for asking and good luck on your search,

I'm running it on a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R mainboard. This week I attached a 250Gb EVO ssd to the IO Crest and the Samsung Magician software is reporting it as a SATA 3 (6Gb/s) interface. My drive benchmarks at 428 (sequential read), 57935 iops (random) and 402 (sequential write), 24716 iops (random), now well below the 540 / 520 max indicated. The drive has slightly better than 50% freespace.

I believe the drive is TLC. Most makers of ssds now use tlc because of the 11 year life expectancy.

I have two of these drives and have had them for a minimum of 18 months. I have never had any problems with them. They work fine. They came with an AC power adapter as well as a USB cable.

My fifth generation's hard drive is on the way out after two and a half years. I had a 4th generation that lasted less than two years before the drive died, luckily covered by credit card extended warranty. I don't think these things are great buys if you expect them to last more than 3 years.
