Forum Vs Naplam - Fasted real world storage solution

[jcool]

Hi Napalm, looking forward to seeing the 4x jmicron replacement. I'm a little surprised you are buying now when the new gen SATA 6 drives will be out before the end of the year.

I take it the 1231 is staying for a bit longer?

Regarding your batch test. I tried it on my single ssd. Task manager tells me that 300 processes start up but only 29 instance of IE actually open.

I tried opening 300 copies of Notepad and that worked OK. It took 22 seconds. It used around 3GB of RAM and the CPU seemed to only max out at 65% (I guess because the SSD could not cope).

After opening around 100 copies the pc seemed to lock up for a few seconds before the rest opened. The QD seemed to max out around 60, so it would seem that the lock up occurred when the QD got too much to handle.

For anyone interested this is the code for the batch file to open one instance of IE. (Just repeat on separate lines to add more instances).

Start "" "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

To open Notepad:
Start "" "C:\Windows\NOTEPAD.EXE

I just tried this on my laptop - bad idea
Even though it has a 120GB Ultradrive, its CPU and Ram weren't really up to the task

Hey napalm, you figure a few of those new Sandforce SSDs could beat ur setup? They should, considering the insane 4k random numbers...
I'm getting two of those tomorrow, will do your FF loadup test then
