Booting Windows XP on a 32 GByte Intel X25-E SSD

SSDすげー

a 400+ dollar drive and a shitty monitor.. interesting...

Also, as of June 2010, I've read that PNY's drive behaves very much the same as this drive does and it costs less. The reason the the Intel shot up in price was because it got popular and Intel and venders raised the price because people keep buying it without checking it's true speed against competitors.

Wow, 7 seconds from display of "windows xp" which is where windows starts loading from the ssd.

[RealmEternal]

Wow, that winXP is hardcorely optimized.

[kyanzes]

Wanna race with my 15K RPM SCSI? Yeah??? Okay... wait... hey!!! Been still reaching for the power button when yours had already loaded... WTF :)

"I did this movie to compare the performance of an Intel X25-E SSD to a 7.2k rpm hard. So just watch the other video I uploaded to see the difference. "

how is this a movie?

[ScrewFearMe]

he meant video i guess

[uktech]

Intel just got fined Billions. I'm glad because when you look at the price of a small capacity drive (64gb), you can actually buy a laptop for as much as the drive costs. These drives are taking far too long to come down in price.

[ScrewFearMe]

yeah...but im guessing storage space and so on and developing them aint easy yet

[statsGr]

intel x25-e is the best ssd right now ..

with diskeeper 2009 you can optimize the ssd so that u can keep it fast as it is new

[ChromeBallz]

Fragmentation is almost completely irrelevant on SSD's due to the way they work. There's no needle, so there's no "travel time" between fragments, which is why fragmentation makes normal hard disks slower.

[eurohim]

@ChromeBallz To add to that, Fragmentation is actually a good thing. The more spread out your data between chips, the faster it can be accessed.

[ChromeBallz]

@eurohim Haven't thought of it that way yet. On the other hand, i can't imagine it mattering a lot - The time you gain is miniscule at best given the speed of the tech itself?

[leezaal]

ok but how does it boot & run with all drivers and programs installed and does it suffer the stuttering issues a lot of the ssd drives have when trying to multi task??

[REDxFROG]

SSDs are much better at multitask loading.

This is _the_ prime advantage of SSDs over normal HDs.

[wwwOCAHOLICch]

Yes the performance is just blistering fast. Especially the very high iops number when reading/writing small blocks are simply astonishing!

[Muusicalman]

one thing i hate is when people do a fresh reformat and say how fast it is. nobody is going to only have recycle bin on there computer. Add all the updates make it a normal computer then post your boot times. That is the standard.

[Sentionline]

Thats the stuff of dreams

[SupermansBoots]

Ouch, scorching.

[subliminalpain]

i just crapped my pants... takes me 5mins to book into xp

[RaRRaRReyes]

Wow, just wow.
