samsung 24 SSD in Raid

This video went viral on Cape Verde

What's the music at 00:35?

[3dfxLover]

i have 2gb /s with 1 ssd lol

[subahaki]

OMG!

[theDJille]

Which modell of SSD is that?

[jsuelwald]

You do NEVER EVER defragment SSDs

[F9V]

now you can do it with 4 ssd vertex 3 on a good controller card

[conroe81]

1 fault 6TB lost. Great Idea man go on ;)



[bradleya172]

could you imagine if the ssd's broke when he was jumping with them

[faumyian]

Like someone posted before, Defraging SSDs is stupid, SSD have only a certain amount of read and writes they can make in thier life time before the drive will start to fail and get corrupted files consistently. by defraging the SSDs it takes up a lot of the read/writes that are available. hope that makes sense to all.

[ice0cold0eu]

@faumyian actually the problem is writing, not reading

[LostSubscriber]

hey there IT Idiot....you fucking defraged your ssd. you fucked up its lifetime

[BKsMassive]

LMAO....

Nowadays you can get over 2GB per second with only 4 SSD's! xD

[Meelad360]

I'm pretty sure that I have the same case haha, but my LEDs are blue

[denzel786]

If you did defragment your Solid State Disk you can rest assured that you did not harm it in any way. It is just that this process is not needed and that defragmentation causes lots of write processes which means that the drive will wearout sooner.

[alexbwang]

I guess it's good to see it done just because it can be.

[xover76]

i thought you weren't supposed to defrag SSD

[compositegal85]

The reason to defragment drives is to make the data sequential since classic drives have to move a the read / write head around if the data is all over the place.

Defragging a SSD or SSD array won't have an effect, they just did it to show how fast it can be done.

[qopha]

This "experiment" idea is interesting, but it fails to impress me.

It would be interesting if he ran something like iozone (no idea if there's a Windows version of that) which basically rapes the machine while doing the benchmark.

[dragonplatform]

Lagged the crysis :D

[Netbug009]

Woah. I wouldn't want the bill for the electricity though. xD

[TheLotharable]

@Netbug009 : Hey, just 2000 Watts xD

[lawrencezig93]

but samsung drivers are total crap and super slow compared to intel x25m or e, thats why apple uses samsung drives coz they are cheap

[Netbug009]

@lawrencezig93 ...Apple uses Intel drives.

[Richy0326]

i wonder how many hard drives you would need to get the same results.

[relemar]

I 'spose a decent amount of top of range Hard disk drives would achieve same performance (in RAID)

not too sure.

[Richy0326]

sequential read & sequential write would be easy enough, probably 40 disks or so, but access times and random read & writes would probably be physically impossible to match.

[TheChip315]

thats like $18000+ in equipment LOL

[canceroustroll]

WHRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!?

[unverofalso]

FALSO !!!!

per l'apertura delle applicazioni si utilizza RAM e non HD.

[w3nss]

ahahahha vai a studiare vai!!

[unverofalso]

windows ha dei delay da rispettare, il 2gb di velocità è dato dal trasferimento dati, non dalla apertura della applicazioni!!!

provate a spostare 100 gb al posto di aprire 100 programmi.

i giochi !!! usano la video non hd !!!! mnuaumamuamuamu !!!!!

studiosi........

[cyther39]

with that F%#$ing fast SSD's, you don't need RAM at all... lols..

it was awesome!

[NeffiStar]

The so-called IT genius doesn't seem like much of a genius. You don't need 24 drives to hit 2 GB/s. The RAID card he's using is on an PCI-E 1.0 x8 slot which peaks at 2 GB/s, which is why his speed is so low for so many drives. Without that limitation, he'd get up to 5280 GB/s with those drives. He actually only needs around 10 of those drives to saturate the PCI-E bus bandwidth and get the same speed he's getting.

Not to mention the idiot defragged an SSD. Something you just don't do.

[NeffiStar]

Sorry, 5280 MB/s.

[uut0]

why shouldnt you defrag them?

[HekiShavik]

For one, you don't need to with the seek times on SSDs.

Second, you can only write to a sector on an SSD so many times. Defragging a disk causes many, many writes.

- As far as I know anyway :)

[HekiShavik]

Oh, this is a reply to uut0 below

> why shouldnt you defrag them?

[NeffiStar]

Saying its about the seek times is misleading. It's not that SSDs only get a negligible gain from defrag; they get no gain. HDDs have to physically seek to the various parts of a fragmented (broken up) file. Defragging pieces them back together so it doesn't need to do this. SSDs dont physically seek to anything and access any part of their internal memory instantaneously since its all stored electronically.

Furthermore SSDs have limited write cycles like you said and defragging wears them down

[HekiShavik]

I didn't know what else to call it. It's down to some nano seconds like RAM anyway.

But your explanation is good and covering the subject nicely :)

[uut0]

so if i have a usb drive which uses flash memory and ill use it for readyboost which causes loads of writes my usb gets destroyed O_o? (sorry for the late reply they yt thing didnt say anything)

[lucianos1990]

hey asshat. if hes not gonna use pci-e, then what? good luck finding a raidcontroller with 24 ports who can go higher. you cant run two card in the same raid configuration.

[tenshitaiakuma]

they have 24 port sata raid cards

[lucianos1990]

yes i know, in pci-e.

but nothing else then pci-e.

THATS my point. :)

[cyther39]

ur right thou,, but it was awesome!!

[tenshitaiakuma]

only eight vertex drives

[REDxFROG]

Thanks for your comment NeffiStar.

You so PWNED "PAUL"...

And I don't understand how jumping with the drives in the hand would freeze WMP Visualizations. It's being rendered in real time, and not played from any of the SSDs at the time he's jumping.

[thelegendbullet937]

@NeffiStar

It's 5280MB/s or ~5.2GB/s lol... get your units right :P

But wow.. can you imagine a computer / drive setup that could process 5000+ "GB" /s?!! That'd be aweeesome :]

[VandiverMichael]

@NeffiStar Granted one defrag across 24 drives for the purpose of demonstration isn't going to make the SSD's explode or anything. Though it demo's the speed of the drives, it does also propagate the idea that it's harmless to defragment SSD's.

[flasher395]

@NeffiStar Ahm you are wrong, what do you think what the speed of a ssd is like? if 24 ssds are supposed to get 5280 GB/s, then 1 ssd would have to be able to beat the speed of 220GB/s.Actually even if they were extremely fast for 2009 they would have been maxed out at lets say 300MB/s/SSD->7,2GB/s. And then why do you think it they were using the 8.0 Slot? Theres no implication they werent using the 16x slot, and then again if it was PCI-E2.0 the discussion is pointless again...

[hcitecnarf]

Don't you hate when people steal other people's videos on youtube?

[Neuferkar1980]

fucking awesome

[Flush333]

I'm jealous.

[ChriZGW]

nice very nice pc

[ImProviserSRB]

sick.

[ChriZGW]

lol real nice PC xD

[lucianos1990]

DONT STEAL OTHERS MATERIAL!!

[VViitard]

i got to get me one of those XD

[THEPANTSWEREDEAD]

Christ, they have quite a damn budget, jsut the damn mobo costs $600. Plus the drives, which probably costs a couple hundred dollars each

[spamy97]

You're forgetting a few thing there ;)

All prices from newegg in $

~1500 for a 24 port raid card

~3100 for the processors

~600 for the motherboard

~840 for the graphics cards

~100 for the RAM

~500 for the PSUs

The drives are ~£400-£500 each and not on new egg so if we say ~430 each that gives us

So $16960 not including the SAS cables, monitor, case (looks like a silverstone but I'm not too sure) etc

[THEPANTSWEREDEAD]

Hot damn, I guess I did forget a few things. The case is a thermaltake Armor 1st gen BTW.

[hairyneil]

eek.

still, fuckin epic!

[adoborules23]

that's was so awesome

your "PC" Rock'ssss

[veraleone]

w0000t that's sick

[ZOnikJJ]

That's so awesome

[inkofdeath230]

Epic.
