'disappointing lack of confidence' lol

lol indeed

 

[Adam]

Nearly as quick as mine that lol.

Beast!!!

 

[Andy_con]

what is it that makes it quick? the soild state drives?

 

[Jon.G]

wow! thats fast! bet it cost some pennies to get all the SSDs.

 

[Adam]

what is it that makes it quick? the soild state drives?

Yeah basically. It will have other decent components aswell i.e CPU and RAM.

 

[Andy_con]

so would putting a ssd in my laptop make it run faster in general??

 

[FiXX]

arent those drive like half a grand each?>??

 

[Andy_con]

what a solid state drive??

64gb on ebay £150

 

[Cookie]

^ The ones used in the test were 256gig each, so yeah I think

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/256G...TA-3Gb-s-220MB-s-Read-and-200MB-s-Write-speed

525 each, so 12.6k on disks PMSL

 

[Andy_con]

ah i see nice

so can someone tell me, would putting a ssd into my laptop make a big difference speed wise?

 

[FiXX]

well those samsung drives mentioned have sequential read and write rates of 220MB/s and 200MB/s respectively using the standard SATA 3Gb/s interface. So yes the difference "should" be quite something

 

[David]

thats f**king awesome, someone link up one on ebuyer!!

 

[Leeshez]

That is fast.

I'm just waiting for a comment from mike_182.............:rasp:

?

Pretty cool though, but an utter waste. Surely the bus is way beyond saturated at 5.2GB/s though? As you'd need to be running at 6GB/s bus speed to be able to take it, which I'm fairly sure that the controllers are stuck at 3GB/s due to the complexities of processing the data at a different speed to the speed it's talking to the drives. Hence the birth of 2nd Generation SAS and soon to be SATA 6G.

I may be wrong, but it's the impression I got from HGST on the limitations of SAS. 14 drives would be about it's performance peak I'd say!
