Tecboy Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Understanding and Choosing the Best SSD. A must read if you are looking at purchasing an SSD. http://www.anandtech.com/print/2829 I remember reading the first version of this article in CPU magazine (I think it was last summer), good to see that it got updated to reflect the newer tech involved!

PurSuiT Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 I'll get one at some point...maybe once I ebay some more crap. You going to actually leave XP behind? as XP is not a TRIM aware OS and never will be. So far only Windows7 and couple version of Linux have TRIM support.

PurSuiT Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 I might get another Intel x25-M G2 160GB to Raid. :groupwavereversed: "Bahahaha, look at the hard drive scores here: 0.7MB/s and 0.3MB/s? That's freakin' terrible! And that's why your system feels so slow when you start it up, there are a ton of concurrent random reads and writes happening all over the place which your hard drive crunches through at roughly 0.5MB/s. Even the Samsung based OCZ Summit manages a significant performance advantage here." "The overall PCMark Vantage score takes into account CPU and GPU performance and thus storage performance is only one aspect of determining your score. All of the SSDs do well here, the slowest configuration still around 36% faster than the WD VelociRaptor; something I'd say is more than reflected in real world performance" "The gaming tests are very well suited to SSDs since they spend a good portion of their time focusing on reading textures and loading level data. All of the SSDs dominate here, but as you'll see later on in my gaming tests the benefits of an SSD really vary depending on the game. Take these results as a best case scenario of what can happen, not the norm." "The Vantage Gaming Suite shows us our first example of the X25-M G2 pulling ahead of even the SLC X25-E. Even the Samsung based OCZ Summit does very well here." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
