Raid 0! Shudders Twice the space, Twice the failure rate!
Tested rate: 1400+MB/secâŚ
So the real-life speed for end-users should be about 50-60MB/sec.
Back up early, back up often, consider soft-RAID on any data you canât afford to loseâŚ
Thatâs 11Gbps. Thatâs really impressive, consumer grade hardware canât keep up with that with any kind of real workload. You pretty much need a dummy application just dumping data to the drive as fast as possible to even have a shot at hitting that limit.
I might be a statistical anomaly but the couple of drives I purchased from LaCie both conked out on me. Iâm not necessarily down on the company but Iâm not going to buy anything from them right out of the gates.
What I need this for? Well, letâs just say Iâll order with a very large box of kleenex.
âwhat else youâd want this for?â
Funny you should ask. âHacker Newsâ has been down and restoring backup for over 10 hours today.
âMy hard disk crashed, my hard disk crizzashed,
Thatâs where all my good porn was stizzashedâŚâ
(From one of the better entries from the âremix this collection of disk-crash noisesâ contest some years ago.)
Somewhat more frivolous, but the first possibility that struck me was virtually eliminating level loading times in games.
Iâll tell you what I want this for- my home/work recording studios. This would be absolutely brilliant.
Welllllll⌠a ramdisk doesnât do that much better than a regular SSD so that might not work out.
To my eye, gameplay begins at 43 sec with ramdisk, 46 sec with SSD. Traditional HDD is as expected hideously awful at ~108 seconds.
Okay, so this âridiculously fast desktop storageâ is 6.5% quicker than SSD, gotcha.
