MTRON SSD 32GB reviewed @AnandTech
Posted on 17/08/07 19:01 by geno 888
According to the review:
The MSD-SATA6025-032 features a read seek time of less than .1ms, a maximum read speed of up to 100MB/sec, a maximum write speed of 80MB/sec, and sustained transfer rates of around 95MB/sec. The drive features a write/erase endurance of approximately 140 years at 50GB of write/erase cycles per day thanks to an exclusive controller chip design that features proprietary wear leveling and bad block management algorithms.

Shit. Sounds like they've come a long way in a short time with these SSDs. When do I sign up?
Don't jump on the band wagon yet Duke. That drive is only roughly %20 faster than the SATA HDD and $1500 bucks. MO, it is not worth the cost versus performace boost and per gigabyte which is nearly $47. If you got the money to throw away, I say do it but SSD have alot to go to compete with the plain-janes.20% faster than the current fastest consumer mechanical drive is a claim worth taking notice of!
i'll go raid5 even before i do that. much larger, faster, and prolly still cheaper.
Raiding these would be faster, but ..... then again it'll be more expensive than anything else.
How will this HD format affect everyday use, does this mean, 'defragging' a HD is a thing of the past, or will maintenance still be needed?By

Defragging has (barely) nothing to do with the hard disk technology used, it's more a matter of file system the data is saved to, unless some disk technology emerges featuring 0ms access time. For this SSD disk however, since there is some access time (0.1ms, but there is), reading the non-conitgnuous (fragmented) data that it spread around the medium will still take longer than if it was contignuous, hence the defragmentation still making sense . Little sense, anyway, as the 0.1ms is little enough to ignore (probably e ven in a heavily fragmented data). So, the answer is yes and no - time will show.
Happy Birthday to you
