I've got 10,000 rpm Raptors and they don't even come close to the awesome that is SSD- maybe my next big build (which is now coming sooner than expected) - I'll probably RAID a few for the main drive, then use a big HD for storage only.

I'm not sure SSD's are ready for prime time just yet....

Quote:
a new article over at PC Perspective that looks at Intel X25-M performance over a period of time shows that write speeds are dramatically reduced from everyday usage patterns. Average write speeds are shown to drop to half (40MB/s) or less in the worst cases, though the author does describe ways that users can recover some of the original drive speed using standard HDD testing tools."

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

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.
