oh it would you need at least a 15k drive to get close to a slow ssd.

Even such a disk would still be a lot slower than any SSD. Reason is the much slower access time on a spinning disk.

An average SSD has an access time of 0.1ms and a spinner would range from 10ms to 15ms - thus being 100 to 150 times slower.

Yes it is in a Dell E6530. 8 gb memory. I also have a 840 Pro 256 gb in my Media Bay for storage. I tried to set the bios to ACHI but it gave me a hard time. It wouldn't boot in ACHI and ended up using the bios setting's that Dell had setup with the HDD.

some of the drives for servers have over 6GB of cache and can read write close to what a cheap ssd can.

But only if what you are looking for happens to be in the cache. Else you are stuck with a 15ms (on average) access time which is 150 times slower than the average SSD.

Yes we did in a very aggressive way with help here from katusoft and I finally got it done but it wasn't as good as what Intel wanted in my bios.

I have just bought a SSD and want to test it.

Could someone recommend a good, friendly, noob test program?

 

[whs]

I prefer Atto. http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1749/atto-disk-benchmark-v2-46/

 

[Wiking]

I got this result from my new SSD - is it ok... ?

 

[kbrady1979]

Try out AS SSD Benchmark.

 

[whs]

I would call it average. The only number that really counts is the 4K num - and that is good.

What make/model SSD is it.

 

[whs]

Here is a good deal for the serious SSD fan.

Newegg.com - Refurbished: OCZ RevoDrive X2 OCZSSDPX-1RVDX0480 PCI-E 480GB PCI-Express x4 MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

 

[Britton30]

I've seen the refurbished SSDs Wolfgang. I wonder how they re-do them?

 

[whs]

I guess they Secure Erase them and check that all the Nands work and replace them if required. Maybe they do some cosmetics too.

For the Revo drive they probably also have to check the controllers etc.
