That is a problem with the tech industry in general. Advances tend to make things smaller and faster.

I tried to find pricing on the 256 GB models and struck out, but I did see that 128 GB models are in the $700-$800 range.

Wouldn't an ultra-fast defrag help? At those speeds, I wouldn't mind defragging all the time.

From the linked article:

Quote:

There is currently no ‘easy’ way to defragment the sub-block level fragmentation that occurs as a result of write combining. In addition, we found that running the Windows defragmenter on the X25-M would rapidly Swiss Cheese the crap out of it, defeating the purpose entirely

Ah, I see. Bummer.

One of the things they did in the video (in my OP) was a defrag (that was lightening quick).

Yup. It was probably a bad thing to do.

That's why I mentioned it.

If you read the big warning box on the label for that particular model of Intel SSD, it says "DO NOT DEFRAGMENT"

So I wonder if that issue is unique to Intel, or if no one has yet taken the time to real world benchmark other brands.
