Interesting blurb, if their data is valid.

Ok article. Re-inforces my feelings that the Intel SSD's maybe "old" tech, but still top dogs.
Thanks Bill!

yes but for the price of the intel you can raid 2 ssds and kill intel.

For starters how's the RAID compatibility amongst SSDs to start with?  They fixed the issues I presume?

Yes, two p256's will beat the intel, how they will hold up? maybe good maybe not? two OCZ Vertex's will beat the Intels, at most things, some tasks will take 4 vertex to beat the Intel, or on pcmark Vantage 50 Vertex won't beat the Intel. lol I think most of the nasty bugs have been worked out of the Vertex now, and is a good drive.
 
 
RAID and SSD, is a beautiful thing!  SSD's scale so much better than standard drives.  The onboard cache, and moving away from Jmicron controllers eliminated the earlier problems.
 
I have my 4th Intel coming for my main system, Trying to get my world record back, damn Norwegian overclocking team.Sleepy

no issue, they support raid.

Intel X25-E Extreme 64GB = $782.00

Sequential Access - Read: up to 250 MB/s
Sequential Access - Write: up to 170 MB/s

---------------------------------------------------------

Intel X25-M 160GB = $619

Sequential Access - Read: Up to 250MB/s
Sequential Access - Write: Up to 70MB/s

---------------------------------------------------------

OCZ Vertex 60GB = $219

Sequential Access - Read: Up to 230 MB/s
Sequential Access - Write: Up to 135 MB/s

---------------------------------------------------------

OCZ Vertex 30GB = $175

Sequential Access - Read: Up to 220 MB/s
Sequential Access - Write: Up to 125MB/s

---------------------------------------------------------


raid 2 or 3 of those vertex and price is the same or lower than intel, but performance is higher.


---------------------------------------------------------

pcmark Vantage? who cares, your write/read and everything that has to do with those will be much faster

Actually wait, it wasn't a matter of RAID, it was the necessity of using a RAID card right?  Since onboard RAID if I recall correctly screwed up the insides of an SSD card once, when I chatted amongst the builders in IRC I believe they mentioned this.

no, the performance is not better. random write 4k size the Intel is 400% faster. The IOPS of the Intel is still better. Which shows real world performance.
 
Why not price out the 80 gig version for $309. Still more money per gig, but way more reliable.
 
Get you darn new system built allready! lol  Put 200 vertex's in it, and 2 intels will blow it away on Pc mark vantage. Smile 
Sorry just giving you a hard time. Shocked

the x58 has raid support so there is no need for a card

PC mark vantage? what are we kids bragging?

I don't think anybody here really cares about PC mark vantage

raid also improves IOPS so how do you figure vertex in raid would not beat intel?

Onboard raid ICH10r has proven to work better with SSD's than standard drives. Most say it caps out around 800-900 Mps, I will find out soon on mine.. lol

Benchmarking is for kids now?
 PC mark vantage is one of the best single tools to test overall PC performance, Why have an OCed fast machine if you don't know what it will do? It is like having a top fuel dragster in the garage, just took look at, and scare the crap out of the neighbors... lol Take it to the track!

taking it to the track is using it not benching it, you know what you got when you compress, encrypt, encode, etc, etc.

benching is taking it to the garage and hocking it up to the PC to see your horse power, speed, etc, that does not mean you can push it that hard in real use on track

We will have to agree to disagree lol. Compress, encrypt, encode,  etc etc, that is what PC mark vantage does..

Oh well guess it was an issue with the x48's onboard RAID control then.  More or less would've fixed the issues on the x58 by now ahah.

I know I read it sometime ago.  Better yet, when I first came to this forum, the very first configuration discussion topic I made, there was suggestion to get a raid card during THAT time.  But by now makes sense they got over that issue heh.

before the SSD's had no onboard cache, so Raid controllers with built in cache stopped the stuttering issues.
Most X48 boards use the same south bridge as the X58, ICH10R.
A raid controller is needed when you go for 4-5 or more of the good SSD's in raid 0, because they will max out the bandwidth of the ICH10R
RAID 10, RAID 01 or raid 5, yes need the raid controller. RAID 1 will be faster with a controller, and when I say raid controll, I mean one with built in cache, and of good quality.

John Dvorack may be the Jim Cramer of the computer prognostication, but he still raises points worth considering. Here, he's worrying about SSD failure rates.

LOL I guess my response will be the same as the previous 2 stories you posted. Another reason to but the Intel SSD's. Smile

the vertex with new firmware has a lot, a lot less performance drop, but the intel x25 E is beast.

Yes, but the last topic was about failure rates, which some SSD's are 100 times higher than the Intel, which has the lowest failure rate. Cry
