[Techreport] Some 840 EVOs still vulnerable to read speed slowdowns

[ashetos]

There is some exploration in this article. There are read slowdowns with 840 EVO even after the patch. Seems like TLC drives are not to be trusted. Some problems look like they are too hard to solve.

Do you think that TLC is problematic in general, or is it just a Samsung thing?

Too early to tell, the sample size isn't currently big enough to make any solid conclusions yet.

Once more and more people start to see the issue pop up again, and are smart enough to know what is going on, then, we will have more statistics to make a good decision if the issue is with TLC or with sammy's version of TLC, or if it is just a controller issue.
