no, when reading and writing to the drive everything is smoother than pretty much any drive i've ever used. I copied a 9+ GB WoW folder in approximately 3.5 minutes from a 7200rpm SATA II drive. Just a clarification the 6MB/sec writes were with HDTune Pro - Demo and with 1kb size
Could it be a driver issue? Those numbers are so low, they would allow for a lawsuit for speed claims.
alfaunits,
Since when do HDDs/SSDs use drivers?
:?
read the rest of the thread and find out.Quote:

"normal" reads peak at 165MB/sec and my observed peak writes are 60MB/secQuote:

Not really. Sadly, it's not commonly known, but flash drives perform that bad with random writes. Sequential are much better.Quote:

I would not expect any decent driver to allow 4KB writes directly to the drive instead of caching it for a set period of time - thus small sequential writes must not be that bad.
Actually, he said average sequential writes were 6MB/s NOT 60MB/s, peak writes he said were 65MB/s. V1 wasn't much better in this regard. Random writes might even be negative :rofl: (that was a joke... for those with you with no sense of humor)Quote:

New patriot ssd's available 9/03/08 at mwave http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewprodu...Drives+%2D+SSD
They have awesome customer service. I ordered my ocz core v2's from them 5pm (pacific) thursday and had them in my hand at 10am (eastern) the next day.
2 x 60GB ocz core v2 raid 0 on an adaptec 2405.
Attachment 84547
is it me or SSDs are starting to get affordable? :clap:
now we need a 500GB model at around $500 :yepp:
whens V3 coming? :D
Next month with the read & write speeds increased to a massive 175/100.Quote:

So are the stuterring/hanging problems fixed with the core 2 series. Considering buying 4 for Raid 0 goodness.The stuterring problem that I keep reading about makes me nervous and I might go the Patriot direction.Sorry, if this question was answered before.
i've had no problems at all with mine other than slower peak writes than advertised.
I'm running two 60GB in raid 0 with no problems, but the drives are slower over all than advertised as you can see in post 112.Quote:

Can anybody with a V2 make some simultaneous read/write tests by copying a folder on the drive. And maybe to some measuring of file copy from and to the SSD to and from another drive.
Let's see how much MB/s it delivers in real usage. I remember simultaneous read/write were also bad...
Thanks - makes me feel better about my recent move to the 300GB VR.Quote:
