Hi guys, long time no see.

It's a great thread you have here. I remember i wanted to test something like this back in '09, but the cost of SSDs then put it well outside what i could do.

I'm...

I know i'm late to this thread, but for a LSI 9260-8i with FP key, currently 8R0 C300 64GB would be your best bang for buck. In a couple of months, the SF-2000 series seems to be a possibly better...

I wonder how one of the new 9010BA would play on SB850... Or a RAID of them.
I hold the AMD WR for PCMV (as far as i can tell) with 4R0 C300 64GB from SB850 and air cooling :P...

I want to settle the discussion about ioDrive RAM usage here.

I've read all released papers on ioMemory since 2007, and their drives physically acts as an advanced parallell memory array with...

So there is a consensus that my 17941 score in PCmark Vantage is the World Record for AMD based systems?
Maybe it was an easy "get", but if ture, i can still say i hold a WR :D (until Anvil decides...

Both CPU, GPU, and storage was pushed to max i could get stable with 5-10C ambient on air (i opened my window when it was -15C outside :P). The only thing i didn't clock max was RAM. The 6850 isn't a...

Thanks Comp. I have a huge pile of benchmark data, and some graphs of it if you guys want to see. That may deserve a dedicated thread about SB850 SSD RAID though. My focus for this thread was...

Hey, i did this last year in december, but never got around to posting it. I just checked the lists again, and as far as i can tell i still hold the WR for single socket AMD, with my air-cooled...

ATM i'm having a bit of difficulty with an x25-M G1 on SB850 with AMD SATA drivers in AHCI mode, basically 13MB/s 4K QD1, and about 22MB/s for 4K QD64 (from AS SSD), the rest of the numbers are OK. I...

I see i have missed some stuff here. Back on new HW after a summer vacation from XS. Now on new GB AM3 890FX 850SB mobo with 1090T :)
Not really extreme, but definetly nice value upgrade.

I'm sorry i've been away for a while, i've just been lurking about 20-30 mins a day, since my real life has been overwhelming since i got home for the summer and started working. 8-10 hours a day...

Mostly, the stuff in the papers i don't fully understand is the specifics of the photo lithography, low-level circutry (like connector, signal driving details, and transistor workings in detail), and...

I've done 2 years at a university studying chemistry before "dropping out" to study computer science instead, and in that time i did 2 semesters of calculus. I also majored(?) in mathematics,...

I've got some 1TB WD GP disks, and i love them. I wouldn't mind if it parked the head after 8 seconds of idle, as long as it doesn't spin down that quickly. It's the spin-ups that bother me, and...

Unless you have some legit use to put your possibly-to-be retired Barefoots, blowing $1K on C300 64GBs seems wastefull. Your barefoots already give you sweet bandwidth and decent IOPS throughput at...

I think he meant just under $200 pr drive... Under $100 pr 80GB drive would be way to low.
EDIT: or not, looking at the first post...
Seriously, who sells them at $100?

Mbreslin did some tests and found about 4 C300 256GB saturate a 9260-8i with FastPath, adding more only increase IOPS up to ~10% (for 8) but still gives sequential speed scaling.
The extreme...

Yes, those are 4KB random ioXtreme numbers.
I'm a bit surprised by the limited scaling, but you have awesome IOPS at low QD, actually better than SteveRo's Acards.

QD 1: 15,3K IOPS
QD 2: 25,5K...

110V*30A = 3,3KW...
That's actually less than what i have available in my room at my parents where i'm staying now XD (230V*15A = 3,45KW)
230V, One of the perks of living in europe :)

I'm...

Decent performance, but a bit lower seq write than most 64GB SSDs. Still, this is more like the kind of thing i've been ranting about for some months now.
15K random write IOPS is good, but as long...

I've known about the dual core thingy for a couple of months now, and seen a nibble of info on it. If i remember correctly it was up to 300K IOPS on integrated RAID, and up to 600K IOPS in...

To answer your question directly: It will affect the lifespan in a minor way, and may even reduce degrading, but only by a few percents and likely won't matter to you.
Superfetch won't effect your...

Where's packman?

To answer your question TA/alvin, 4R0 C300 256GB (or 128GB) would take the controller close to the IOPS limit, and also give good bandwidth and storage space, but cost a lot. If...

Disk cache disabled... Do you mean the cache on each of the C300s, or the RAID controller cache?

+1 here. Like i've said in other threads, TRIM is very hyped. For normal usage, you will typically get 10-20% degrading in synthetic benchmarks but will not be able to feel the difference in real...
