Guru3D 2015 December 24 contest - Win an OCZ Trion 100 960GB SSD

Right...
Because I'm not at home and Android tablet broke this morning and Guru3D site goes black and flashes and is unusable with Windows Phone (Lumia 635) I had to look for the answers elsewhere (not feeling like asking to use someone elses PC for this competition)... Anyways, email sent.

Am I the only WP user who is having problems with the main site ?

 

Hi!
Is third question right without word ssd?

 

hmmm.. I wonder what the prize would be, some self-tying shoes or a GIGABYTE GTX 980 Ti Xtreme? in my age, i'd go for the shoes anytime guys

 

So far I am stumped on one question Sku of the nand...haha. Broke out some wine to help and it only 10 am my time.

 

Who's the man?

Hilbert!

I CANT HEAR YOU!! I said WHO'S THE MAN!?

HILBEEEEERRRTTTT!!

Guru3D!!

Good luck to all again. :mad2:

 

Awesome prize, good luck everyone!

 

Email sent.
Thank you Guru3D!

 

Good Luck Everyone

Thank You Guru3D

 

Entered good luck folks!

 

I am curious as to why we need to include our Name/Address/Phone Number in the initial email, not just the reply to the "You've Won" email.

This gives you the real name, address and phone number of every single person who enters, regardless of if they win or not. Now, I'm not saying you would be doing anything wrong with that information I just find it odd you're requiring it in the initial email.

 

Nicely done, thank you! Ohh by brain smoking another time that I read about TLC, MLC, SLC and so on...

 

I guess they have nothing to do with my Russian Federation info which I provided in e-mail :stewpid: I am using guru3d.com since 2000 year or around it for downloading drivers and riva tuner for TNT 2 16Mb card and then MX440 vga. But never registered on these forums cause never have problems do discuss with people out there (used S3 trio 3D, RIVA TNT2 16Mb, MX440, gtx260, AMD HD5870, now sitting gtx580).

 

Merry Christmas everyone, Ballantine's rocks

 

Entered! Thank you guys for this awesome Giveaway, and Merry Christmas to everyone here at G3D!

 

I enter good challenge

 

Fantastic prize! I'm entered

 

Finally found time to check it and compose mail. Drive is lovely thing HH, thanks a lot (for whoever wins).

Tho, I have point of interest, mentioned review is for 240/480GB versions. SKU of nand used is not written single time, but is shown on image. That is SKU of lower capacity chips used in 480GB version. 980GB version uses another chips as 480GB version is already fully soldered with NANDs (just misses additional cache). So 960GB version has to double chip capacity. Which means another SKU

My Vertex 4 128GB runs 13959 hours (581 full day run time) with 1651 system starts and is left with 95% of its life.
- this drive includes in SMART data for writes in Blocks: 35306522056 blocks (I presume classical 512B blocks) so: 16835GB written
For my Vertex460A 240GB: 2806 hours (116 full day run time) with 356 Power Cycles and life remains at 98%.
- this drive includes in SMART data amount: Write: 5967GB ; Read: 4556GB

So funny things:
Vertex 4 is used as system drive and average write is 1.21GB per hour (I have swap here too)
Vertex460A is used for some games and projects and avg. write is 2.13GB per hour.
- From this I conclude that having swap on drive is no problem at all as regular work puts more "stress" on drive than OS does.
- And my personal fact, I write data in quick backup/build and then I do not need them

 

Thanks Hilbert. Just posted my answers.
