What makes you a geek?

Quote:Then how do you explain tests performed by a reputable hardware site showed that when doing random reads that an SSD was little better than two RAID 0 spindled drives? The numbers quoted by Tom's was literally a less than 10% difference between the SSD and the two RAID 0 spindled drives (WD Raptors in this case). How do you sit there and say that the difference is huge? I remember the numbers shown by Tom's was something like an I/O of about 110 for the SSD and the RAID 0 Raptors was about 100 to 105. Care to revise you claim that SSDs on random reads/writes are light years ahead of RAID 0 drives?


What article? What benchmark (many benchmarks are extremely throughput centric, often sequential centric, where IO meter, with intelligent weighting of the various types of transactions is usually the most representative of actual usage)? Were these Intel SSDs before the major firmware revision 6 months ago that significantly boosted they're non-sequential performance? Were they drives so old that they aren't representative of current SSD drives?

Show me.

At this point I'm pretty certain that you aren't knowledgeable enough on the subject to have a valid opinion, I just want to see what article fed you misinformation so well that you're willing to ignore all that I've presented.
