1 drive sample on 1 controller, OCZ is on it

Probably had something accessing the disk, I benched mine last night, and I didn't have the jaggies like that.

Please post a screen shot.

Thats fine with me. We just really want to see if the write speeds were really all over the place like the posted screenshot showed.

i take it thats onboard mobo controller ?

dont mean much to me till i see raid0 4x/8x

@ these prices ill take 0.35ms over 7.35ms <

seriously... great job OCZ... please continue to release SSD drives to make the rest of the SSD market drop their prices!

once we see sub $100 prices I will certainly bite.

**ChongL** · 07-21-2008, 03:59 AM

I'm ready to bite now!!

**BulldogPO** · 07-21-2008, 04:57 AM

I'm waiting for 64GB models go under 100€, then I will buy couple of them for RAID 0.
That propably happen on september when Intel launches it's SSD drives.

**stevecs** · 07-21-2008, 05:03 AM

Still no random I/O performance tests though on these things the only one was Jester's previously here which really sucked (and that was streaming not random). For that I'd stick with ssavios.

hey stevecs, that wasn't my drive, mine should be here tomorrow I'll post up results then.

O lordy, $180CAD after rebate for the 32GB. To buy or not to buy?

EDIT: and only $245 after rebate for the 64GB!!!

Actually leaning the other way

The 64GB isn't a bad price, and it would make a great upgrade to the 5400 rpm drive in my macbook pro.

**vengance_01** · 07-21-2008, 04:16 PM

Still not worth it. Not quite yet. Still rather have 2 640GB WD drives in Raid 0 on a small 250GB slice for OS and games and a Raid 1 slice for the rest.

Cool! with another run on the streaming writes then we can see if that one was an aberration or not and then some random read & write I/O performance would be killer.

Dam, if we'd only have 500Gb SSd's i would sure go for one of them.. biggest cap. i saw was 128Gb..

**b0bd0le** · 07-21-2008, 08:02 PM

someone must have results of these things in a raid0 setup...

**LagunaX** · 07-25-2008, 12:37 AM

Nice but sticking with my velociraptor for now as I hate slower write times.

First noticed this phenomena with usb flash drives. They would transfer 700mb avi movie files very quickly but required say a 3 min write to flash disk time. In contrast a 5400 rpm WD passport drive would write in less than a minute for sure.

But when they get cheaper I guess I might bite for the SSD "C:" OS/Apps drive and have files/DL's written to the "D:" 7200rpm drive.

**saint-francis** · 07-26-2008, 08:42 AM

When is the 32 GB version going to hit the market?

One day after the rebate expires?

Can't see hide nor hair of them on Newegg. And the ETA for the 64 and 128 GB versions have been pushed back two days.

**LuckyNV** · 07-26-2008, 10:31 AM

ETA 29th in a UK store, they were expected 22nd originally though.

**BrowncoatGR** · 07-26-2008, 10:54 AM

They seem to be available in Germany already

**alfaunits** · 07-26-2008, 11:11 AM

No random write tests yet?
