SSD review without "used" drive test?

I wanted to know if the new Indilinx controller is better than the Intel controller after the drive has been thru a lot of usage.

The Intel controller has 10 memory channels vs 4. It's basically like more bus lanes so the more congested things get, the greater the separation between the Intel and the Indilinix controller. This can be seen with the AS SSD benchmark or IOMeter with a 64 queue depth.

Indilinx essentially ameliorated the used problem with wiper.exe

Wiper.exe takes hours to finish if you enable ahci, so if you disable it you lose ncq on your other drives.
I wish ocz would release a drive where you don't have to use all the tweaks on the their forum to make it run to the best of its ability.

cant you disable ahci, run wiper, then reenable ahci?

wiper is kinda counter productive, too much effort for a little speed up, you spend too much time to gain too little.

Tried it on 2x Separate Drives...
Must be a mobo + Driver issue
