&gt;I just love how Google datacenters are somehow &quot;the real world&quot;<p>They totally are though, especially to the HN crowd where a lot of us may be putting hardware in data centers.<p>I agree that this isn&#x27;t going to give us a clear picture of what to expect out of an SSD in say, a netbook or something. On the other hand, data from a million SSD&#x27;s reported by one company in a controlled environment is a hell of a control group if you want to go test factors like temperature, etc.
