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

[AikenGhoti]

@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 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.

@BrawndoScream Take a look at your sdd`s write endurance rating, what does it say ?

[BrawndoScream]

@SuperMangn That's total bullshit, I manage a bunch of SS Servers running SQL Database and they are WAY faster than Mechanical hard drives. Hell a macbook air is faster than the most beefed up Gaming PC if the PC runs on dinosaurs mechanical drives.

@aronsystem You are wrong, a normal harddisk is 50 to 125 mbps. Because it has sata 600 does not mean you can get 5-6 GB/s

[aronsystem]

2 GB/s is really slow.

I get 5-6 GB/s with my normal server hard drives (no SSD)...

[SuperMangn]

SDD have limited use and then they start to get slower and slower untill you end up back at hdd speed lol.

@AtomicHercules I'm not saying its not impressive, it still is.

[xAelderon]

@AtomicHercules No, are you kidding me? It has nothing to do with how much time it took, it's all about what it accomplished.
