Hello,I have a question about the capacitors in the DC S3700 and the DRAM cache. In the event of a power loss while write caching is enabled on the device, do _all_ of the cached/buffered writes make it to the NAND? Or, are the capacitors there to en...

Hopefully there isn't a bug in the unsafe power-down logic that's causing the problems seen here: , but thank you Joe for confirming this for me.

Hi Joe,I've also read those statements in the datasheets and specifications. My concern is with the statement "in the process of being written." This does _not_ state that all buffered data is written.Can Intel provide a more complete description of ...

The following is a snippet from a competitor's SSD datasheet. Can Intel state whether or not the DC S3700 is capable of dumping the entire write cache/buffer on unexpected power-loss, just like below?

Hi Paradigit,With SSDs, every access has to go through an flash translation layer, or FTL. So whenever the computer wants to read data from the drive, it must first lookup its physical address in the FTL, and then it will get the data from the actual...

Jiejie,What did you do to induce this failure? Did you just power your computer off then on? I'm considering deploying this particular drive model, but these issues are definitely concerning.
