Firmware update R211 released for SanDisk Extreme SSD

That is true of course, you are correct, I am wrong (I’m telling you??)

I was confusing the TweakTown and RWLabs method of fill testing SSDs and the affects of TRIM, with the method that Anandtech tested TRIM in RAID 0. Unrelated, but both on my mind.

BTW, nice work finding and documenting the SF 5.0 firmware bug, still astounding to me it could slip past LSI/SF. You found it initially I imagine, as part of your usual SSD testing, which is described in the link in your post above.

It’s also curious IMO that TweakTown and RWLabs were the first and apparently only PC review web sites that published articles about this topic (I chatted about that a bit with Jon C.) That provides some insight into the true intended “customers” of those two web sites, in contrast to the others, IMO.
