Samsung SSD Awesomeness

We took 24 256GB Samsung MLC SSD's and put them in RAID to make this awesome computer! See how we did it, and what the results were!

defragmenting ssd=FAIL

@momostien You kind of missed the point. No, you never defrag an SSD, but you also never do the things most benchmarks do. It's about how long it took (or rather didn't take) to touch that much storage, not about what it accomplished.

@momostien Lols they're just showing how fast it goes. I'm pretty sure they know SSDs don't need to be defragmented XD I wonder if the defragmenting program knows that.

cool now take some ocz vertex 3's max iops

@laurensd800 he mentioned server hard drives, if its a big server it could have some insane amount of HDD setup in RAID. But i think hes speaking out of his arse

What's the first song on this video named?

@momostien haha, but holding them by the cables and jumping on a trampoline is fine with you? :)

For others.. One of the big myths and major barriers to SSD adoption is the myth of low write endurance. Write endurance is the number of write cycles to a block of flash memory. This implies that writing larger chunks of information to your SSDs sustains them better than writing millions of small chunks. The fear is that over time SSDs will become unrealiable due to the limited number of write cycles per block.. Do your homework, google the myths and debunk them for yourselves.

@SuperMangn We're in 2012, you do know also Plasma tv's don't get burn-ins anymore. We rent and use only server grade equipment. And there's absolutely no comparison at all in I/O speed, which result in fluid and fast interface to the customers. Same goes for my Air, damn last benchmark I got 210/240 Write/Read in sequential. Mechanical hard drives are soon to be instinct, but I understand that resistance to change is a natural human reaction.
