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!

For more information on these drives, check out http://www.samsungssd.com

  • well the pictures would be mostly handled by the sweet graphics cards they have installed, the film was only 700mb, not a whole dvd film and who can afford to do this in a home setup? but fair play, they made their marketing material iinteresting in the end.

  • @masterchief3k Yeah, the added speed benefit of the drives drops off at 1/n. So at 2 you get 1, then at 3, 1/2 and at 4, 1/4th. Adding a 25th drive for example would increase the speed a whopping 1/16777216. -- I would only do 4 drives for binary reasons and stop. The added 1/16th increase you get with the remaining drives isn't worth the 20 * ~ $200 bucks you're spending.

    Really it's 1/16 - 1/(8 million) or so. But, it's largely irrelevant.

    Also, way to defrag.

  • You must format your RAM after defragging your SSD's for a better performance...xD

  • You guys seriously think this guy doesn't know not to defrag an SSD? It's not his own personal rig, why not beat the snot out of it and test stuff you wouldn't normally test.

  • Stop defragging that shit :'(

  • Really good IT genius. You're never supposed to defrag an SSD.

  • Defrag? I read, you shouldn't do it on SSD?

  • One does not simply defrag an SSD! *B0r0m1r*

  • you could now put 3 vertex 3's for example (sorry OCZ haters) and acheive similar performance.

  • The speed of raid 0 significantly drops off after 3 drives. First you may get a 100% boost, then 50, then 25, and then it keeps cutting in half from there.
