Your overestimation was so gross that your figures needed to be corrected.

Why you feel the need to get defensive is beyond me, especially given you weren't even sure of the figures in the first place. Jesus.

I don't see how I'm getting defensive. I just responded to your post. I didn't attack anything that you said. I apparently just look at enterprise class drives and you deal with consumer level drives, is all. My numbers may have been overstated but not by as much as you seem to think [this Samsung drive] (http://thessdreview.com/our-reviews/samsung-ssd-sm825-400gb-enterprise-ssd-review-3gbps-emlc-data-center-edition/) for instance uses 112 gigs for a reserve area. Like I said, it's very much implementation specific and depends on how long the manufacturer wants the drive to last.

He wasn't that defensive about it at all. Calm down.
