The NewBiiz/eWiz order page shows these as 2.5″ drives… are the 1.8″ units actually for sale?

SLC is where data (1s and 0s) are stored at only 2 charge levels in each cell: high charge is 1 and low charge is 0

With MLC, data is stored at 4 charge levels so double the density and as a result cheaper to make higher capacities.

Over time as cells are written and re-written to the difference in charge levels deteriorate and since there is less of a difference in charge between levels when the total charge is split into 4 there is a higher likeliness of errors occuring sooner. With SLC, since the difference in charge is only split into two, it will take longer before the cells deteriorate enough for errors to occur.

(Disclaimer: I am by no means an expert in this field so this is probably a severely dumbed down version of the way this works)

Would these work with the P1610?

But what can I put it in? Will it go in my Samsung Q1? And why is MLC vs. SLC bad? Slower? Dies like an electro-magnetic mechanical hard disk drive dies?

Argh MLC = less writes before this thing dies. I guess SLC would be too expensive though.

Guess they are advertising the ‘real’ formatted capacity.

Odd capacity listings. They must be rounding down from 32, 64, and 128, respectively.

Weeee let the SSD fun begin!!!!
