Mtron Pro 16GB SSD Benchmarked

Pure Insanity. :eek:

But for the cost of the SSDs and those Areca controllers, I'll just stick to my Raptors and ebay acquired Perc 5i controller.
 
That's just nuts. 1GB folder copy in ~4 sec....LMAO.


Too bad that drive setup costs roughly 7x the amount of my entire computer. :eek:
 
ssd is sweet, just need to wait for the prices to come WAY down

lol yep, I won't be getting a SSD drive for a very long time :p

Hmm 16gb or 500gb for much less...
 
Awesome, let me know when they break $4/GB at capacities of 64GB or more. Then I'll be interested.
 
16 GB is probably enough to handle a lightweight operating system with some applications.

32 GB would be enough to handle Vista and a fair share of applications. I'd definitely be up for that.

Won't be too long: STEC MLC SSDs aim for a $5/GB pricepoint now, dropping to $2/GB within two years.

Yeah, MLC is slower and more prone to error and durability issues. For a desktop, I think two or three MLC drives in RAID 0 would be plenty for now. That MTRON article shows pretty well that for application loading access time becomes the limiting factor again pretty quickly.
