I just got an x25-m g2 and the performance is degrading rather quickly. 352 in AS SSD bench 2 days ago 327 today. The only thing I could figure is my network activity. I run utorrent with data going to a networked share, but I notice that the network activity is quite active on the pc running the x25 g2 as well. So if I'm d/ling at 1mb/s I am also uploading as fast. Does this mean that the data is written to my X25 then sent to the networked location? (I assume it does). If so is there a way to confine the area that it will write to so as not to have it tearing up the entire drive?
 
That doesn't seem like much of a degradation to me, unless it's consistently going down over a short period. Does your drive have the updated firmware with trim? Also, why would want to confine the write area of the SSD? If anything, you want to spread out the writes all over the SSD so each block is written to on average the same amount. Otherwise, you'll have cells that degrade much faster than others.

true, I was just talking about for benching, because I hear benching tears drives to pieces. I've had it for 5 days now. Does it seem like alot now?

Exactly.
That's why I decided not to create partitions on my 160GB G2.
