SuperSSpeed SLC VS. Anything else

[Gogeta]

Out of curiosity what manufacturers do you work with that help you resolve dead drive issues and recover your data or give you an explanation why a drive died?

Getting off-topic, but Compellent, now Dell, is the first SAN appliance recommendation we make to our customers based on their customer support. It would take A LOT of testimony to convince me they aren't the best vendor in the industry because of their support alone, let alone the technology. Data recovery is completely different, however, and can hopefully be avoided with backups and replication.

I am a tad confused we talking about reliability of SSD drives VS the SuperSSpeed so its on topic I think you have slightly missed the mark here.

1. Dell dont make any drives they just relabel Seagate/Hitachi/Fujistu
2. Dell does not give you any support of why drives failed, how they failed or any data recovery. We have hundreds of hosted dell servers with 4hour replacement critical support but they do not give you ANY further support for any failed drives? I mean if a array fails thats fine they are great it getting the SAN online but for the actual failed drives its ends there. Its dead. End of Story.
3. Why are we talking about support on SAN's ?

Most enterprise market SSD vendors will provide indepth compatibility support, Failure Analysis, Destroy in Field replacement plans, and other support services when you purchase their enterprise level drives. If you remove these support services from comparable SF2282/2582 + SLC devices from larger vendors, prices will come down to a similar level.

Anvil on a single drive.

[Highendtoys]

Bill you beat me to it. I had it loaded but then got a phone call.

[Zaxx]

Can't wait to see a full review of the SS 64GB drives. Will be putting a pair in raid0...

[JR.]

Thanks Bill, Highend'

Impressive for a 128GB drive

Regds, JR

Any word on performance and availability of the SS 64GB??

[Highendtoys]

Email doug at mydigitaldiscount com and tell him how many you want. Zaxx want's a couple and Doug is hooking him up.

[Zaxx]

The 64GB holds up quite well vs the 128GB (easily the fastest 60/64gb SSD on the planet..:P) but the 128GB easily rules the IOPS.
Here they are side by side...

I've got drive #1 covered...saving for drive #2 and then time to look into a Z77 mobo. Man it makes me sick that Intel wouldn't enable raid trim on the Z68s...sok, I'm doubt a lack of trim will wipe the smile off my face when I'm clockin' 1,000MB/s.

[Highendtoys]

A guy at Notebook Review bought on the 128GB drives and will have a review online soon. He just emailed me to tell me how fast the drive is. He said, ".....is quick. From fingerprinting to "windows 7 desktop" showing it's 1 to 2 cycles of the "blue ring", and it gets to login before the windows 7 logo joins together. Am thoroughly impressed."

[Zaxx]

Heh...sounds familiar. I remember when I upgraded from my gen1 Apex 60GB to 2 x 50GB Vertex 2 34nm in raid0...I expected some improvement, now if it makes to the fully formed logo I know something is wrong. lol

[B Gates]

my logo doesnt even make it halfway on sata II

Is someone still planning on doing a head-to-head compare supersspeed vs Samsung 840 pro?

as soon as I get an 840 Pro I will

[Highendtoys]

When Samsung gets off their ass and sends an 840 Pro.

As for the 60GB price, I have no idea

Hey highends, any updates on these, i have a p8 p67 deluxe and i don't know if they will allow trim on raid0, cause that is the only reason i have not grab a couple of those. Btw did you get your hands on some 840 pro, this is the one that i want to see against the superspeed, of course on raid 0 set up.

If you want RAID 0 TRIM for your P67 then look here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6477/t...therboards-too and no the 840 Pro is not faster with data on the drives. There will be a direct comparison soon at RWLabs.com

Looks like we got a good brawl in store....insert :evilgrin: here.
