That can be a big difference for what they are doing. Probably not very much for what we do.

Hammering slows it down a little more that the 320.
Practical use it is maybe 5% slower?
Normal usage 38MB's against 40MB's?
My guess it is partly the newer controller and its firmware.
Samsung 470 is still kickin it. 165TiB.
FYI for all.
Numbering difference is on the testers. Intels started out TB.
All the new ones are reporting TiB.
You would ask.
TiB is 8 based.
TB is 10 based.
Here goes what I understand but could be wrong.
The Intels were reporting SMART values in MB and TB when they checked them against what they actually were writing when they started weeks ago. So that is how they were reported.
All the newer drives Samsung and Crucials they found were reporting SMART values in MiB and TiB. So they are posting accordingly.
If you want exacts and all the math- Wikipedia time.

So using above in quotes 1KiB is 24bytes larger than 1kb.
Accordingly:
- A group of 8 bits constitutes one byte. The byte is the most common unit of measurement of information (megabyte, mebibyte, gigabyte, gibibyte, etc.).
- In 16-bit and 32-bit architectures, having processor registers of these sizes, that chunk of data is usually called a word.
- The decimal SI prefixes kilo, mega etc., are powers of 10. The power of two equivalents are the binary prefixes kibi, mebi, etc.
Then you figure it to MB's and TB's.
OK, I got it. I am going to hazard a guess it is so people do not get the acronyms mixed up, TB could be misinterpreted as tuburculosis whereas it's obvious to everyone MiB is Men in Black.
Actually, 1 TB = 0.90949470177293 TiB
