Endurance ratings are actually more in line with what we would expect to see on an enterprise product. The published specifications are a refreshing change from it’s smaller sibling.

As our first taste of 3d MLC the SU900 is of particular interest and I expect to see it’s nand/controller combination in use on many drives going forward. Once again the drive’s plastic construction renders opening it irreversible. The drive’s chassis is primarily plastic which again will reduce it’s ability to dissipate heat but this should be less of an issue with MLC. Also included is a warranty card, indicating a 5 year warranty. This is an excellent inclusion for those upgrading desktops. An additional accessory included over it’s TLC sibling is a 3.5 adapter. The package does include a plastic shim which I’ve yet to find a use for in real world applications. Support for trim and information about available software is included. Although little performance information is printed on the package some key details are.

The SU900 ships in a retail friendly package that easily grabs the eye.
