Show us your SSD performance

[essenbe]

Started slowing down over a couple of days and then stopped writing.
Still can read from it, they are going to do read tests for a while to see how long it can be read from.

It started dying on page Page 55 post #1360.

I have read that that is typical for SSDs.

That is supposedly what they are suppose to do, I still do my backups but, nice to know you can still get data from them... don't know who will want my data after +250 years

Some Museums may find it quite Intresting.

Has anybody tried ssd as external drive via usb 3.0 ?

Other than a smaller case, why would you want to?

Well, ssd can use all usb 3.0 speed, plus external ssd would be more safe storage.

After checking the USB 3.0 flash drive prices, except for size, an external USB 3.0 SSD might be a good idea.

A SSD can use all the USB 3.0 speed and then some. What a waste of hardware capability. The USB won't get anywhere near SSD performance. Might as well use a HDD and save the money. I'm not sure what you mean by "more safe". Safe from what? Theft?

Safe from bad sectors and hdd failure.

 

[carwiz]

Meaningless--The same can happen with a SSD. Next.

Snakeyes.....
I am too old to be jealous about how fast your SSD speeds are.
My eyes get crossed if I even read too fast. hehehe

 

[Snakeyeskm]

Really appreciate the feedback guys. I happen to run a fairly intensive (high Que-depth) program that is very I/O intensive and can run for several hours. Needed to build something that could put a dent in the software time. The combination of the RevoDrive3 X2 and the 2700 K overclocked to 5 MHz has done that. It's nice to have a real excuse to create a new build. The twin 580s were a pure indulgence to dress up the watercooled processor and give my son some gaming pleasure in the evenings.

 

[essenbe]

Snakeyeskm, not only do you have great scores, but that is a great looking rig. I know you are proud of it. I certainly would be. Congratulations on a great build.

 

[Snakeyeskm]

Thank you essenbe.

I just bought me a few days ago a SSD Corsair Force GT 120GB and it works very well. But as i have the marvell chip on my mobo and it doesnt go well with X58 chip motherboards i dont get full speed on it. It does quite well at 412mb/s but would want the full 555mb/s but i guess i have to wait until i buy a new mobo or a controllercard. I dont have picture at this time as i´m not at home but wanted to let you know anyways Othervice it´s blazing fast and i wonder what crap i had before this drive and how i could withstand it *LOL* Regards

 

[essenbe]

HugeRaven, I think we all feel that way. After you get an SSD, we all say that we will never be without one.
