    Please post low queue depth performance of the p420m and a video of it booting up if it can.

    I’ve read many times that NAND Manufacturers cherry pick the best possible MLC Wafers for their SSDs for Enthusiast Level SSDs like the 840 Pro . Wouldn’t it be cheaper if they picked lower quality SLC NAND Wafers?
