I am curious how the 710 or S3700 stacks up against the new M500 from
Crucial? I know Intel is kind of the goto for these things but the m500
is power off protected and rated at: Endurance: 72TB total bytes written
(TBW), equal to 40GB per day for 5 years .

Granted it isn't he fasted pig in the poke but it sure seems like a very
reasonable drive for the price:
