MLC NAND? No thanks.
I was stoked about the capacity until I read that it's MLC NAND. Presumably they're using that for price considerations, but MLC NAND, by design, has a higher BER (Bit Error Ratio) with a higher probability of data error and data loss. Why? Because MLC NAND switches states on increasingly smaller amounts of voltage (as the capacity increases), so smaller voltage problems equals higher chances of data corruption.

No thanks. I'd pay more for a SSD that doesn't have a propensity for data corruption.
