HD Tune results
Here's some HD Tune stats I ran before putting the drive in my Thinkpad, the benchmark system is a Quad-core Q6600 with 4GB RAM on Vista.
The first drive to compare the Core to is the oldish WD1500ADFD Raptor, which I use on my desktop:

wow speechless!!
Now we need bigger and cheaper ones lol.
For a SSD they seem a bit slow ? at only 0.4 access time.
bring the price on the 128gb down ~$250 and I might bite...
now with those prices SSD raids are more viable :D!
really nice
It seems to be the norm for the cheaper SSDs, more throughput but not as low access time as the MTRONs (yet).Quote:

This is my own "old" 150 GB RaptorX (WinXP SP2 x86, QX6700, 4 GB RAM):
I really want to see write tests (preferably random) to this thing. If they're good it's going to be my replacement drive for my laptop. That's my current bottleneck in the system.
This was discussed in the original thread. SLC vs MLC.Quote:

I would like to see compatibility testing (as many SSD's seem to have problems), RAID-0 scaling performance and write test next
But hey we can't complaint for the prices no ;)?Quote:

What about the burst speed? 107.7 for the raptor and only 58.9 for the SSD? I thought the SSD would be higher?
looks decent, especially considering the price.. These numbers get me wondering about write speeds tho :)
i think this has to do with the consistency of the transfer on a SSD.Quote:

I want to see a round up of current SSD's in the market so far.
How do the core SSD compare to the "regular" more expensive ocz ssd drives? The price is double that of the core. Is there a performance increase that warrants the price hike?
I'm going to wait a year, but guys, this is a breaking point. Finally an affordable SSD drive. :up: I'm glad I didn't buy a bunch of raptors. :P
MmmmmmMMMMmmmMMmmmmmmm.....SSD....:slobber:
Dammit just bought a velociraptor 1 week ago. The 64gb ocz ssd and a 320-750mb 7200rpm secondary drive would have been a perfect match.
I would buy a $100 32GB SSD.
Wow those writes are horrible! Random writes are probably even worse
I hope it's just an interface/driver problem that can be fixed with an update
Other testing apps do not show the dramatic up and down jitter.
1 drive sample on 1 controller, OCZ is on it :)
I think only Vista SP1 has true support for SSD. I am assuming you are using SP1.
Wasnt there issues with certain Intel chipsets and SSDs? What chipset did you test with?
