Intel X25-M G2: Previews & Reviews

[mstp2009]

I thought that those were 4k read speeds for a single disk. 2 in raid and only 23 mb?

Go look at what two WD Velociraptors do at 4k chunks in Raid 0 and then you will see how impressive these numbers are.

This should put things into perspective (single disk numbers, but they make my point):

Also, don't forget that most RAID controllers have a lot of trouble keeping up w/ SSDs. They were simply not designed for the kinds of I/O that these devices bring to bear when multiple SSDs are hooked up to one controllers.

The good controllers that can utilize SSDs in RAID fully cost more than the SSDs.
