ParoxysM Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 32GB drive for $249 SanDisk SSD Ultra ATA 5000 achieves a sustained read rate of 62-megabyte (MB)*/sec and a random read rate of 7300 inputs/outputs per second (IOPS) for a 512-byte transfer – more than 100 times better than any hard disk drive.

B.Ob. Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 WD Raptor 150 84 MB/s (Sustained) ->10.5 M Bytes/s so 100x seems a bit of a stretch, but still fast!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckett Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 WD Raptor 150 84 MB/s (Sustained) ->10.5 M Bytes/s so 100x seems a bit of a stretch, but still fast!! The 100x faster statement refers to the IOPS, which normal ATA drives get about 650+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurSuiT Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 One reason they are looking at this for enterprise laptops is that it will double the battery life in all laptops, not just future model (no moving a parts in these HDs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
