We definitely did see an improvement in the 4k random write in both Crystal DiskMark ‘0Fill’ sample testing as well as AS SSD tests which utilize random data. This can be seen in a quick look at the back of the SSD as shown here: The question on everyone’s mind with respect to firmware, of course, is whether we can expect any performance improvement with the new firmware. The new release of the 6G also now has updated firmware bringing it from the RC (Release Candidate) to a just released Ver.

It seems to have been paid off as we are seeing PC owners and enterprise throw their support behind the Mercury Extreme Pro 6G in amazing numbers. This says quite a bit for a ‘primarily Mac’ company that worked hard to show the world that their SSDs are one of the best available for both the PC and Mac user. OWC has made the 5 year warranty applicable to not only new 6G SSD owners, but also any that have purchased the new SATA 3 Mercury Extreme Pro 6G from the first day of release. Other World Computing (OWC) has not only tackled this with a new 5 year warranty on their new family of ‘Sandforce Driven’ 6G SSDs but also, they are still the only company we know of with a 30 day ‘no questions asked’ return policy. We find it amusing that manufacturers haven’t thrown their support in SSD reliability through extended warranties long before this since SSDs have been shown to be pretty much indestructible. Most recently, an SSD manufacturer finally did what we have been waiting for from SSD companies for quite some time.
