SSD Stress Test: 50 apps at Once

[dalynthesk8r]

Command+Q,Q,Q,Q,Q,Q,Q,Q,Q.....­..

[nannynicky4life]

hey, though i have been a mac hacker for years, your vids are very informative and professionally done. i like how you dont have breaks in your speach and speak clearly. that and the way your videos look, beats everyones stupid hand camera vids that shake and bake. a well made vid is enjoyable to watch and learn or review with. ps: your kind personality shows through your vids making it easy for a person like me who hates talking to people.

[foxtrotwhiskeymike]

open 2 apps mac, fuck you

[MrMilkyMoustache]

On my PC...

*1 Program*

*2 Progr - CRASH!*

[kipper09100]

what is ssd used for rendering

thats what i been told

[thedarkone123123]

iDoStupidIrrelevantTests

[d4MLiVE1]

bouncing apps all at once... it must be independence day... independence from u opening all of those

[DCUPtoejuice]

This kind of reckless behavior opening too many apps at once is going to crash the internet. (credit: the onion)

[Z80user]

you test the SSD or the CPU?

[legoneurt]

Why don't you have VLC???

[youR3tard]

Damn that's impressive.

[DerGraf1997]

Nice :)

[joskater12593]

I tried that for my mac and its really slow!

[cheetodude24]

My Mac would commit suicide....

[ConnorTurnbull]

Look at the apps dance :P

[lesleyhenriquez]

Soulja knows best? Damn, sodmg is spreading like aids.

[MrJJ1030]

do a side by side test with a 7200 rpm and ssd and possibly a 5400rpm too

[GeekTechMac1]

OMG I just jizzed my pants! I need SSD!

[ilikepie6000]

If i get a SSD will it stop the lag when i play bad company 2?

[espnchris]

1:03 so my cock is bouncing like joy down there ....lol

[TheNewbpowner123]

Is that a star wars suit or sumthing?

Haha

[evolutionpr]

slow

[tuttar3]

NOOB

[TheRecon4]

I did this to my 13inch macbook pro with a regular hdd and my ram crashed lol cause i only have 2 gigs im so saving for 8gbs of ram and an ssd but i have way more than 50 apps

[Pinnger]

great now you can load redtube faster

[FeeLtheHertZ]

That's 49 applications in just under or at 40 seconds, that's faster than 1 application per second, or that fast 0_o, that's soo sexy.

[gunblade64]

If this is a SSD stress test. Then why are we seeing your face again?

Very non-geeky

[c2palermo]

dock icons are doing mexicon wave

[c2palermo]

docks are doing mexican wave

[luisdemasiado]

can you open something like task manager but for mac so we can see whats happening?

[Ghosthunt64]

What if he got one of those Application Errors or a Kernel panic while recording?

[tonyppe]

@Ghosthunt64 A kernel panic is when KFC fucks up.

[Ghosthunt64]

@tonyppe ???

[shurtugalchrispy]

my computer lagged out a little after he hit open. I think he scared it.

[XxPinoyBroxX]

dude it takes fucking two minutes to open adobe photoshop and sony vegas at the same time on Vista... Im totaly gonna replace this with macbook pro with upgrades of 8 gb and ssd:) when i have the money.lol

[xObAbx]

So my dock is bouncing like joy down there...

XD

[TehAndrewRyan]

Hey that wasn't actually that damn fast. I guess the rest of the computer is bottlenecking your SSD ;)

[Schoeberichts]

Have fun closing 50 apps

[Waktsurfr]

@Schoeberichts ..command QQQQQQ, simple..

[Airbornebull]

@Waktsurfr better off just restarting it lol

[552PresidentKr3m1in]

@Schoeberichts It's called the power button.

[misiobysio]

@Schoeberichts that's easy. QUIT ALL APP - application... few of'em out there..

[myacclolable]

@Schoeberichts He could just restart :D

[picirobi]

@Schoeberichts windows reboot ;) Fastest way xD

[MrJJ1030]

@Schoeberichts its called restarting, and on his solid state drive, itll only take a few seconds

[djcrawleravp]

@Schoeberichts cmd + tab once... keep holding cmd and then press q repeatedly

[r34drummer3]

@Schoeberichts Option + Command + W = Closes all apps opened :)

[GuerrillaSauce]

@r34drummer3

I always preferred the drama of the "killall" command... say it out loud as you type it, follow with an evil laugh as you hit return and you'll get some funny looks though.

[seetherfan1328]

@Schoeberichts with a PC, you can go to task manager, Applications, highlight all of them and close 'em... not hard homie

[lonesoldier33]

@Schoeberichts Faster to reboot

[EvilMonkeyAvenger]

@Schoeberichts orrrrrrr.... he could just hold the power button :)....

[Xaeleep]

@Schoeberichts "command + Q"

[AppleDeity]

@hydrofal78 You can upgrade your ram, hard drive and superdrive. I don't think you can upgrade the processor easily. For tutorials on how to upgrade visit otherworld computers

[Getvityz]

can u open 50 games at once?

[robertgenito]

i'm so happy that the days of doing RAID0 with 4 hard drives is finally over :)

[SoNotGeekyTech]

@andyman1005 Thanks, saved me time from research. :3

[hydrofal78]

hi happy new year.i got an imac 5.1 plastic body 2006.is it possible to renovate its hardware?i'd like to change the processor the memory module the superdrive & the hd.

[SoNotGeekyTech]

Hey Soldier, if I were to get the Macbook Pro, does it come pre-installed with imovie and other apple software? Or do you have to buy it and load it into your mac?

[spontanp]

@SoNotGeekyTech Mac OS X & iLife is already pre-installed :)

[Akshaylive]

A better test would be to copy from one SSD to another and benchmark the results. 50 applications at a time. WTF

[ronmann606]

my expose would be choppy on my 2.4 dual core imac if i had all those apps open

[salmonz]

Too slow, watch the "Samsung SSD Awesomeness" video, at 2:07

[zx5073]

This test is utterly meaningless. The uploader doesn't realise that the stress will be on the memory and the CPU more than the SSD. The applications aren't doing anything. All they're doing is starting up. That's it. I could do this with my computer if I had a fast enough processor. The same daft test got done when they brought out the Core2 processors. If the applications were active, fair enough, but they're not. Absolutely meaningless!

[ecnetsixe]

@zx5073 incorrect. the bottleneck for LOADING application data from STORAGE is the storage media. Doesn't matter how fast the CPU or how much/how fast the ram is. The physical spinning drive still has to seek and transfer the info into working memory. If you're saying the apps aren't doing anything because they aren't loading files/data, you're incorrect because apps take a lot of data from your physical storage to initialize their working environment. Games and media editing are most intense.

[zx5073]

@ecnetsixe Hello! They're using an SSD, no spinning drives. Actually, you're wrong, as even the spinning drives can handle 300MegaBytes a second (SATA2). This would be enough to handle just about anything done on the computer. The more memory you have in the desktop, the faster and smoother the computer will run. Very strange how the faster the processor and memory you've got, the faster programs load up. That tells you that the CPU and memory is probably the bottle neck of the computer.

[pratt123]

@zx5073 I believe that ecnetsixe is saying that spinning drives (HDDs) are the bottleneck in most computers. The CPU and memory can be bottlenecks but usually are not. It is the hard drive that is. Most hard drives can't even saturate SATA2 unless you are talking about a performance or server hard drive, not low to mid-range consumer drives.

Speeding up the CPU and memory helps in games and very complex apps. But for multiple app load times, SSDs are the best way to speed up your computer.

[ecnetsixe]

@zx5073 this is why the ssd resolves the bottleneck caused by the slowness and inefficiency of spinning drive. your saying the test is meaningless is incorrect, as it is very meaningful to compare the result here to any equal CPU or even a superior CPU/RAM system without SSD.

[doive1231]

Nice spacesuit.

[ImperialArmour]

this is pretty slow, go check out the overclocked i7 hackintosh doing the same thing.

[Rifalltoo]

@ImperialArmour that's not fair comparing specs that aren't the same. if it has i7 and 4 more gb of ram, of course it might be faster.

[vaibzzz123]

lol, the exposé XD

[denmarkguy1]

the fallout symbol, is that stalker shadow of Chernobyl?

[Xplict911]

damn its like a app orgy lol

[zac1256]

i am never doing that ever again

[SOLE1PRODUCTIONS]

I have a question im looking to get the imac, with 1tb hdd and 250gb SSD together how do these play together and how does it separate itself?

[SiaSound]

How does only 80 GB's cut it for a MBP?

[peptopro17]

not exactly a stress test, which would be about a week of read/write 24/7 straight. Or powering up/down constantly for a month.

[hraqhraq]

next time open activity monitor and choose disk activity to show the HDD capability to do how many MB/s

[wangzheyou]

Cool

[Billy123bobzzz]

Those SSDs are mind blowing, it would be great if the manufacturers would make them in the same size as regular hard drives so everyone could use them.

[wheely132]

how do you do that on windows vista?

[MrWildfire92]

@wheely132 the same way

[ShockTrauma69]

The dock turned into a marina

[monkeyman1140]

Why is he dressed like a Jaffa?

[CmdrTobs]

@monkeyman1140 Lol yeah.... I was thinking he is reminding me of something but I am not sure what.....

[tusah78]

@monkeyman1140 hahahahahahaha way too funny

[d3vii4nt]

amazing ^^

[ranjeevester1010]

wow now thats impressive, im gonna have to get one of those for my macbook pro.

SSD's consume less energy from the battery as well right?

[sparbz]

You should do this again with the Activity Monitor open so we can see the technical side of it =D

[kadu3d]

HEHEHE NICE!!!! IM GONA HAVE TO BUY ONE OF THOSE SSDs....

[urmomisfineinbed]

U know that's also determined by your proccessor and your RAM, not just your SSD.

[mikey1029384]

@urmomisfineinbed The launching of the apps is the hard drive's job, while the maintaining of the apps is the ram/vram's job. Ergo, the test that he did was a test of the sdd, not the ram and processor (why'd you put processor on here?). Anyway, correct me if I'm wrong, but if you do, please dont say "NO U LAH~," its annoying when people do that.

[TheMK3424]

@urmomisfineinbed yeah but the harddrives where always the bottleneck for loading data into the pc

[gook4202000]

you must have a nice amount of RAM. it must take a hell of a lot to do that and still be able to do other stuff.

[djspecialpaul]

nice :) nice test:

SSD are good for AV user

[CelticsFanBoy92]

Haha i tried this on my pc that i have and I only got 4 programs open before my computer crashed. lol. everything was not responding. I just ordered my macbook pro this afternoon and its supposed to be here either wednesday or thursday

[CelticsFanBoy92]

Haha i did this at best buy and left it up there. lmao. Aren't I a badass! :D

[gook4202000]

@CelticsFanBoy92 lmao! you nut.

[kwysSAN]

What software have you used to record this presentation? It was very clear shown and easy understendable for the listener like me. Thank you.

[speedpianomaster]

@kwysSAN u can just use quicktime

[kwysSAN]

@speedpianomaster I've found ScreenFlow from Telestream - app icon is exactly the same as one in the movie.

QuickTime Player X is absolutely not the same. :-) You can jus record what is happening on your desktop without any addition like here.

[woozone]

how many gigs ram do you have on your mac pro?

[kenupcmac]

when a SSD die you can say good bye to your data for good

ssd just not safe enough

[zsoltika007]

@kenupcmac Its not die like hdd. If its reach the end of lifecycle when the cells cannot write anymore it wont let you overwrite. So you can backup everything you have on ssd just cant write to it anymore. Its much more safer than hdds btw...

[jennyl6789]

does 128 gb SSD is enough?

[JetJL]

@jennyl6789 Its alot. 32-40 gb is enough for a ssd but only for the operating system have a 1tb hhd lying around though for your data and movies

[quesomanrulz]

rm -rf /

[bigdima3]

Im a windows user and to me everything looks like itunes lol,

dont get me wrong, i love mac os 2

[CosplayerTheRealLink]

Very nice video sir!

[riiz9]

Wow nice.

I cant wait for getting my macbook pro 13"

My four year old windows xp machine crashes every five minutes it sucks.

I think my pc would die if i opened more than tree programs

[AntonsYTChannel]

@riiz9 yeah somtimes mine freezes when I close too many at once

[blazeballer11]

omgosh, try this on windows and it'll die

[7o7munoz7o7]

that SSD is hella fast!! the difference is crazy. thats going to take a while to close them all now tho lol

[chubbymexican23]

lol i did 136 apps

[fooodable]

wow. 

that is all

[cali224]

Wow...

And good quality video by the way

[JSXHacker]

the dock looks like its doing the wave

[19f97]

@JSXHacker i think the apps need some training...

[lakeb0dom]

Well you get what you pay for

[ayaneforever]

This shows the true power of a UNIX core. Windows open all those apps at once? HAHAHA

[baliaxe]

dear alt+f4, have you ever heard about cmd+q?

no because you use a pc... I guess you would love the Mac if you bought one...

[KHMadMan]

u must be like pressing Alt+F4 over and over again. Well if you want to close them quickly anyways

[Jisongkun]

@KHMadMan

lol

mac doesnt use alt+f4 to turn apps off

[ayaneforever]

@Jisongkun Well..Command Q over and over. or you can go to the Force Quit and Shift Select all of them and close them all at once...

[KHMadMan]

yeah i love the way all the icons keep bouncing on the dock lol

[JohnColumbusTV]

When the pimps in the crib, ma,

party on the dooock, party on the dooock~

[edwardcphipps]

@JohnColumbusTV when the pinps tryta get at yarr

[mzds100]

notice the mw2 nuke sign on the dock

[JohnColumbusTV]

@mzds100 I think it's S.T.A.L.K.E.R :)

[PlantaReborn]

holy fuck

[rodatv]

LMAO PARTY ON THE DOCK!! wHOO

[lilruggedboy]

Make that 48 apps. AppleScript and Utilities are Folders xD. Great video!

[DeltaPhi79]

@lilxghettodragon: You're stupid enough to realize that it's 50 apps and not *5* apps, right? And that it's only an 80GB drive? Try it with a 256GB drive.

[guitrak]

my computer open 3 small compact apps!!

[mikesdav]

ok my computer opened over 9000! apps in 24 ms :P

[coondogtheman1234]

I really wish I had a feature like that where you could see EVERYTHING thats running even things that run when windows starts. at least I could figure out whats bogging my system down and shut it down. I have XP. my machine is a POS

AMD Sempron 1.8 ghz. 512mb ram NVidia video card 100 GB hdd 1TB Ext HDD DVD burner. yeah I know it sucks. im lucky to be able to run red faction lol.

[wasd591]

now try and close all of them XD

[jamesschader]

@wasd591 (command+Q) x 50

[appleinfl]

@wasd591 Option + Command + Q

Quits everything at once.

[gaz52]

@appleinfl Is there a command like that for Windows?

[appleinfl]

@gaz52 In case my username didn't give it away, I'm not exactly a windows person.

[gaz52]

@appleinfl Oh right. My bad.

[cod4glitchfreak]

@wasd591 Press command q 50 times and everything is gone...not that hard

[Timothy656]

@cod4glitchfreak or just press command option q :) Quits all applications running lol - much quicker let me say!!!

[SquickenX]

@wasd591 command-option-q. quit all.

[ibainesy]

@SquickenX is there an option box that comes up asking you are you sure you wanna close 50 applications at once? seems like if it didn't, a simple mistake could be pretty bad if your in the middle of something important.

[SquickenX]

@ibainesy if you have unsaved work there'll be an option box, but i think the idea is that the command isn't something you'll accidently hit.

[Rifalltoo]

@wasd591 that would be a cool feature for a future release. Multi Dock Quit.

[thepsit]

@wasd591 actually you can create an automater command to close all open apps that's what i do because it's a pain in the ass to do it otherwise!

[wasd591]

@thepsit lol :D just notices i was higest rated...

[spontanp]

@wasd591 Hold CMD + SHIFT and click TAB and Q ;) ooor CMD + SHIFT + Q... with SSD that second option would be super fast

[Kinglevel]

hahahaha the dock is like "OMGGGGGGGGGGG"

[JSantana319]

A 15 inch Macbook Pro with 2.53GHz processor, 4GB of Ram and 256GB of SSD for $2499. Is it worth the additional $800?

[2fast4uspartan]

if you enjoy opening 50 apps every time you log onto your computer. Im fine with my 160gb western digital hdd

[Freewayjim]

Awesome demo! My next MacBook Pro will have an SSD.

[dresen10]

ehm, 80 GB. where can i have all my movies and music then?

[Freewayjim]

Dude, these things are expensive, put your movies & such on a portable hard drive, you can run them just fine from there, problem solved.

[Joshua277456]

@dresen10 On a storage server with Gigabit ethernet =)

[greendayMan123]

@dresen10 external

[goneover]

lol that is beautiful!!!

[tsm32383]

its not all about hard drive, its about what you have about ram and ram speed, if your ram is ddr 2 with like 2 gigs of ram it shud open all well, thats like 95% of the factor, 2% is system condition, 3% is hard drive, thats how i see it

[addiktion13]

@tsm32383 CPU > HD > RAM. Of course the PC does these things simultaneously but you'll notice your CPU and Disk usage spike when opening a program first. This is because your CPU fetches the data off your HD, which then stores it into your ram for faster access. Has far as % breakdowns, that's stupid to figure out. As long as your CPU never hits 100% for long periods of time, your RAM isn't maxed and resorting to your HD, and your HD isn't choking on transfers/accessing programs, you'll be fine.

[haha48]

true but the hardrive is the slowest part 90 percent of the time.. expecally with new stuff.. me i run

intel q9550

8gigs ddr2 1066mhz ram

ati 4870 512

2x 1tb wd black now its fast but ssd destroys it for read but when it comes to write the raid beats the ssd bad..

[GarrettBMXes]

Thats also dependent on the systems specs. It takes a lot of RAM and precessing power to handle that many applications at one time.

Good test though, maybe not on a mac =p

[jograd08]

ssd uses flash memory so im concerned why havnt they test the write speed and its lifespan.. i thought it'll last for only 2-3 yrs

[lilaxis]

Is an 80 GB SSD large enough? What would you say the percentage increase in speed is over the HDD?

[Hunkola]

SSD is sick........FUCKIN' SICK !!

[macflyfilm]

Getting an SSD put into my aluminum iMac YAY!

[XBlackXLabelX]

lol @ dock... icon party?

[puffpowderchowder]

good video. one day apple will make there laptops able to open 50 apps at a time lightning fast.

[djmalibu]

awesome test man!! im sure with a regular HDD it would of taken forever or gotten a no response and and mostlikely it would crashed/frozen up on me.

[IndivisiblePrinciple]

OMG! I can imagine me trying that now.....

iam seeing a spinning beach ball of death until the temp reaches past 80˚c and then a sudden shut down.

[Dsteele90]

r u using snow leopard?
