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.

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

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

  • 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.

see all

  • SSDすげー

  • @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?

  • @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.

  • 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.

  • Wow, that winXP is hardcorely optimized.

  • SSDs are much better at multitask loading.

    This is _the_ prime advantage of SSDs over normal HDs.

  • 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.
