OCZ to come out with new VERTEX SSD,S equiped with 64MB OF CACHE starting at $129

[One_Hertz]

Heh. That's not quite what I meant :P

I'm meaning if there's a spike in a benchmark and it reports 4,000 IOPS that doesn't mean the best drive would be one that can sustain 4,000 IOPS.

I can agree with that sustaining high IOPS for too long is probably unnecessary for most users. It has to be able to spike high though. I see 20k+ IOPS (reads) spikes when loading games but the loading times are quite short and when the game is already running its always sub 100.

LOTS of lulz to be had in that OCZ thread. For example someone said

"IOPS is huge for many of us. That's specifically why I use RAID0."

Of course he is right if he is talking about operations with files that are larger than the stripe size, but I don't think he is lol.

Why did sequential small writes take such a big dump? Tony?
