    Do they get TRIM on those MX500s? Lots of the consumer grade disks don't report DRAT/DZAT and some HBAs (ex: LSI) won't TRIM them. I couldn't keep MX500s running in my local, 1 user server. The lifetime remaining SMART values were dropping towards 0% too quickly.

    I would like to see endurance testing return to reviews. I bet those tests look different now than they did in the SLC/MLC days.

    The key take away is that SSD is now definitely more reliable than HDD, at-least for boot drives.

    I remember Toshiba used to top the Blackblaze AFR charts by a significant margin for reliability during HDD days and now it seems that there's no significant winner for reliability in consumer SSD brands.

    Crucial and Micron drives are listed separately; I presume the latter has business class NAND?
