Lol yeah you really want a guy just tinkering and innovating on a factory line that has hundreds of people on it and heavy machinery . No . Thats what the higher ups do . Some roles are made for people who are good at following instructions to a t . Nothing more . Soldier is another great example . You ' ll learn that when you enter the workforce . <| sep |> WHERE ARE THEY BUILDING UP TO OLICITY AGAIN ? ?? This circle jerk needs to die . <| sep |> I mean , I ' m literally shaking right now . <| sep |> SSDs lifetime often depends on the flash type they use . MLC 2 bit flash is much more durable than TLC 3 bit flash simply because the margin of error is smaller . The MX 300 and the 850 Evo use 3 D TLC NAND which is cheaper , more dense but has limited write cycles . I didn ' t find anything on the KC 400 but I suspect is is using some kind of MLC NAND flash . This can cause a 36 x difference but usually they can endure much more than what ' s under warranty . Speed difference only occurs in lower capacity drives .
