    It’s just a bunch of NAND chips and a controller. It should either work or it shouldn’t. No crazy mechanical issues to make the water murky 🙂

    FWIW, the first drive I received had an issue where disk activity indicator was always on. The 1st RMA had an issue when booting and wouldn’t be recognized by BIOS.

    I reject your utopia and substitute my reality.  😉  I wrote in another thread about my experience with a Patriot Torqx which would work for a time, then would BSOD or suddenly reboot.  Generally, upon reboot, the BIOS would fail to see the drive.  Another reboot and it would usually work again.  This was on the one I purchased, as well as the one I received after an RMA.

    Given that an SSD is, as you so rightly put it, just a bunch of NAND chips with a controller, it would seem that something akin to memtest would be all we’d need to test it out completely.
