Yeah, sorry for the weird posts. I was very tired yesterday and couldn't get myself functioning correctly. Anyways, I've been meaning to ask someone; I believe the read/write speeds on the Nova 32gb are 195MB & 70MB respectively. However, I've gotten around 210MB read & around 74MB write on ATTO (which was like 1.5 weeks back) and was wondering why I've gotten higher speeds than stated on the box (not that I'm complaining :D:) Again, I'm a newb at the whole SSD thing and I'm trying to get as much knowledge as I can about these things (love this SSD too much!)

Whoops, I actually kinda blazed through it and didn't pay too much attention to it (I think I may have A.D.D) :D: Anyways, I'm hoping that someone out there will get the S.M.A.R.T tech down to a tee since benchmarking with ATTO does require you to write to your SSD.

But all in all, S.M.A.R.T currently is misleading correct?

I've decided to get rid of crystaldisk since it doesn't give hardcore, actual facts about SSDs. Now I just rely on ATTO to give me facts about my Nova (probably will start benchmarking once a week or twice a month or something like that.) I also tried using Everest and to my surprise, Everest doesn't even detect my SSD (BIOS and Windows detects it though.) So, it seems like the current S.M.A.R.T technology is complete rubbish when it comes to SSDs.
