Intel getting into the TLC SSD game??? Say it ain't so...

[cbn]

Like, if I'm at BestBuy, will it be obvious to me, the customer, that the PNY CS1311 TLC SSD is likely to wear out 6X faster than their older CS1211 MLC drive?

Maybe if the drive is large enough longevity would not be a concern for an average consumer due to wear leveling?

With that mentioned, what concerns me the most is data retention (a topic that was mentioned in post #2 and posts #15+ of this thread).
