Intels G3 SSDS

News to me, I never heard of Emcrest. Only Postville, Lyndonville, and Soda Creek.



This is why I don't read Fudzilla..

kuro is the king babay

that answers my question, just as i thought the chart confused me for a min ty

yeah i know, i am super spoiled by it! i wont go to anything but a imax or it isn't worth going to the theaters, my tv blows everything away. too bad it is out of production now at days. i heard they stopped production b/c the screen costs too much to make but i am not sure of the validity of that

yeah 3d is being forced on us, but the tv's with 3d tech have better gpus then reg 2d's. this leads to better 2d reproduction as well as the ability for 3d. so in the next few years we are gonna get mind blowing tv's

good to know, next time i shop for a new tv (prob when 2160p becomes mainstream and we are using holographic media) panasonic is the way to go. i just love the panel the colors are really realistic, everything is really clear and sharp, and all the money i saved from not going to the movies and just watching at home will pay for the tv next year lol.

but anywway back to the intel ssd g3 i love the new sizes. i don't know if you remember but i was looking at a colossus from ocz that was 500gb. problem is that it was internal raid 0. will these new drives be internal raid again like past gens or will they be single drives?  

Here's some new into on the G3s, also now called the 320 Series, apparently.

Due out for March 2011.

Will ds be offering these as soon as they are released?

Originally posted by Dsnewb210 So will the intel 510/elm crest series be compatible with sata3 interface? If so what kind of speeds will you see with it?

On a SATA 3Gb/s port it would cap around 280MB/s reads and writes for sequential speeds, small file speeds won't be affected (no where near the 280MB/s cap). Note sequential speeds aren't quite as important as good small file speeds, they are utilized less often.

It would appear that the 510 series will be faster then the 320 series despite the 510 being 32nm vs 25nm. Anyone else confused?

I don't recall if 25nm NAND is supposed to be inherently much faster, or if it was just the big price drop that was the big difference. Either way, SSD speeds are still largely dependent on 1) The SSD controller and 2) How many NAND chips and channels the SSD has.

For example the reason the 40GB Intel SSDs can only do 170GB/s reads and 40GB/s write speeds is because they only have 5 channels (5x 8GB NAND chips), where as the 80GB Intel SSD has 10 channels and can do 280GB/s reads and 80GB/s writes. If they were to say, make a 20 channel SSD, and maybe beef up the controller some, it could push much much higher speeds.

They could of done this any time in the last year or two easy, but I think they were waiting on the release of their own SATA 6GB/s ports first.

each SSD would be capped, but together it would limited to the RAID controllers cap. some cap at 650Mbs some cap at 2500

don't know till we test em out first.

those are some nice read and write speeds tho, I'm still not happy about the price.

LOL I could wait

We were talking about it in the other thread, apparently not only is it slower but it has a marvel controller

intel 510 arnt g3's
