Zikama Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I'm gonna change my current 512GB Samsung 840 Pro to 2x 256GB Samsung 850 Pro SSD's running in raid 0, which should give me about 1000MB/s read / 900MB/s Write. O: Cost: Around $300. ($150 ea) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fade Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Shit, I don't know what I'd do with that much speed, one ssd plenty fast for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7331337 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) Raiding a SSD will do almost nothing... You would of gone better with just getting a regular SSD with 512gb and saving $60. *grammar Edited April 24, 2015 by 7331337 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now that I have two, I have transfer almost twice data thu 2 SATA interfaces at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now that I have two, I have transfer almost twice data thu 2 SATA interfaces at once. They're a funny thing, SSD benchmarks. You can run synthetics all day long and create these unrealistically demanding workloads that make solid-state storage look one way. Then, you can tinker around with real-world metrics that paint another picture entirely. For enthusiasts, the truth often lies somewhere in between. A majority of the tasks we perform do tend to involve basic operations like opening Web browsers, editing images, composing email, and watching video. But sometimes we do need big performance from our systems: compiling a big project, moving tens of gigabytes of media files, or capturing uncompressed AVIs for FCAT analysis. In those instances, you want responsiveness on demand. As we expected, twin SSDs in RAID 0 post phenomenal numbers when we hammer them with sequential reads and writes. Twin 256 GB 840 Pros nearly hit 1 GB/s in both disciplines. Largely as a result of the SATA 6Gb/s interface, single drives max out at a little more than half of those numbers. You're never ever going to hit no hard you try for normal usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zikama Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 You're never ever going to hit no hard you try for normal usage. Watch this if you're in doubt. It dos improve reads/writes. With 2 SSD's I should be able to get at least 1,5x the standard performance of just a single SSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoomScape Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Omfg I got a new laptop and it has SSD's in it. I don't know how I managed to live off of HDD's all this time... I will never go back to a HDD. :x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
