so, as you say, ``with all major SSDs in the role of a ZIL you will
eventually not be happy.'' is true, but you seem to have accidentally
left out the ``EXCEPT INTEL!'' Oops! Funnier still, the EXCEPT INTEL
is right there in exactly the article YOU cited.
however, that's not the end of it. Searching this very mailing list
for 'anandtech' I found this cited about ten times:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/2899/8
anandtech does not think TRIM / dirty drives are a problem any longer.
You might want to redo whatever tests you did (or else read newer
anandtech articles).
I've made the same mistake of passing around anandtech links without
keeping up with their latest posts, but the thing is, that link
debunking your ideas was posted on this list *so* *many* *times* and
over such a long interval!
You can also use the anandtech articles as a point of reference for
how you might write up your ``extensive testing'' of ``all major''
SSD's in a way that will ``assure'' people your conclusions are
correct. (HINT: list the SSD's you tested. describe the testing
method. Results would be nice, too, but the first two were missing
from your post. They help a lot, and do not take much time to include,
though leaving them out does help FUD spread further if you are trying
to promote this ``DDRDrive'' with the silly external power brick.)

yeah, SSD's are largely just a different way of selling proprietary
software, but I guess a lot of ``hardware'' is.
