Just don't test it to death, during speed tests a lot of writing is going on.
Hi again CountMike,
Just for the record, I have run benchmark tests on my SSD at least a few hundred times in my test rig. I have a need to do this when testing various hardware configurations. Check out the total R/Ws and the condition of my current SSD:
Looks like my cheap $69.00 SSD has held up pretty well while still taking a heavy pounding. Now, don't get me wrong, your recommendation is shared by many; however, I (personally) would continue testing (as deemed necessary) to try and come to some logical conclusion about why there is a difference in benchmarks here (or just leave it alone and be happy).
@antspants: Looks like my suggestion actually had a negative performance impact. With that said, I would reverse the configuration and download the Passmark software and give that a try. And, if both of your SSDs, fit into that 4,000 test score range, close up shop and be happy!

BTW, my SSD bechmarked somewhere in the 2100 to 2300 Passmark test score range.
