SSDs to hard disk drives such as German, are enjoying increasing popularity. Despite the high price per gigabyte are investing more and more Hardwarebegeisterte and professionals in the digital data storage, its benefits are obvious. Positioned so the read and write speeds near the maximum of the technical widespread SATA 3 Gb / s standard, while almost non-existent access times not only reduce the boot time significantly - 20 seconds are up to full operation are not uncommon.
But such advances are not enough memory producers. Photofast would now lay with the Power Drive LSI series raises the bar a little further belonging to the top, but no one goes over the classic way of the SATA bus system. Sun is in the new SSD drives a PCI Express bus with 8x bandwidth used, which increases the theoretical bandwidth of 2 gigabytes per second significantly compared to the SATA bus. But this step was also necessary when one considers the impressive figures of the Power Drive LSI: «Thus reads at an incredible speed of 1.500 megabytes per second available, while" only "1400 megabytes per second are written to disk.
Makes possible such high speeds of the 512-MB cache which vorpuffert the data before writing, and forwards appropriate. It is surprising, however, that in such an SSD MLC NAND memory is used, which has failed in its construction of SLC memory of speed, but allows higher data density. The SSD will come in three versions on the market, which differ only by the size of the store, planned expansion stages with 240 GB, 480 GB and 960 GB. Although no prices are known, but that is perhaps even more nciht bad taste, even small SSD's with 60 GB of 140 €, resulting in a price of at least 1500 € for the SSD. By the way, had noted that the road over the PCI Express slot is not new, but already brought his P84 OCZ SSDs, but with much lower write and read rates.
