Just updated my 600p ssd drive to firmware 109c. The 3.4.1 intel ssd toolbox has the new firmware. I wonder if this new firmware addresses any issues that were affecting it during launch? Anyone run any tests? I was waiting to see if pcper was able to review it yet. Looks like they haven't as of today. I updated mine in windows and it blue screened during the update. But when I came back into windows, the firmware was updated. Took about five minutes to do.

The more I see the possibilities, coveting a 960 Pro 1TB might not be as practical as looking at some of these lesser performers. Beyond some level of performance, you might be indifferent to more if you could have endurance.

Has anyone published a TBW expectation for the 600P? See -- I could be doing some web-searches, but since I'm "here," I thought I'd ask.
