There are of course SSDs with hardly any (or no) reserve space, but while we might be willing to sacrifice an image or two to SSD block failure in our digital camera, that is just not acceptable for serious computer use.
Some people are doing serious computing on devices with 6-7% reserve. Devices with less enforced reserve will be significantly cheaper per exposed gigabyte, independent of all other factors, and always give the user the flexibility to increase their effective reserve by destroking the working area a little or a lot. If someone just needs blazing fast read access and isn't expecting to put more than a few cycles/day on their devices, small reserve MLC drives may be very cost effective and just as fast as their 20-30% reserve SLC counterparts. -- Eric D.
