Why can't we overclock solid state drives

[Mitzy]

Serious question.

I could understand no possibility with HDDs but SSD's I would image could potentially be OC'd. So why aren't we figuring out ways to do this?

Ah cheers zak, the thought just popped into my head. I remember reading a about drives having a processor contained in (part of the controller) and figured the juice could be turned up.

Thanks for the explanation, basically the drives are as tuned as they can be already for whatever fabrication process they're made by.

Why would you want to overclock (and potentially destabilise) something you rely on to store data?

Lots of people overclock to see where the limits lie, they're not messes scarily worried about corrupting anything.
