Warning (not for the faint hearted)
The following screenshot shows in bytes the amount of data read/written on these few tests.

It seems CDM is a bit of a killer wrt writes, these few benchmarks compares to a full weeks worth of writes. (I'm investigating this matter as it writes more than one should think)

jesus i never realized it writes that much! you are right, that is not for the faint hearted

that is only if you run the write portion, right? or is there a similar amount of writing if you just run the read sections? I am sure there must be some writing if you run read-only.

nice results from the vertex 2 there. what would be your initial just off-the-cuff impressions of these drives? With your vast knowledge of the different drives out there (god you have one (or two) of everything) where would you place this one? in relation to the intels for instance?


I have been looking at these very hard, considering what their price will fall to when g3 hits...might make a helluva deal.
