Plextor shows Marvell-based SSDs at CES

tsitaat:

A longtime a manufacturer of optical drives, Plextor will dip its toes into the solid-state market in 2010 with a pair of SSDs based on a 3Gbps Marvell SSD controller. The drives use flash memory from Samsung and will be available in 64 and 128GB capacities in February. Final versions weren't on display at Plextor's suite, but the only changes to the drives pictured below will be cosmetic etching on the casing. These first two models have already been qualified for use by Dell. Plextor has additional models planned for the summer, as well. Expect those drives to use a newer Marvell controller, presumably with 6Gbps SATA support. Plextor also told us that its second batch of SSDs will use flash memory from Toshiba.

Intel & Micron Announce 25nm NAND Flash Production, SSDs to get Bigger/Cheaper in Q4
http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=3731
Obviously supply and demand economics play their roles here. We may not see the sort of aggressive pricing we want to on 25nm X25-M drives if demand remains as high as it has been for the 34nm G2s.
Samas jälle viimane lause tõotab paremat.
If IMFT can ramp up production of 25nm NAND flash, 2012 may be the year of the first truly affordable mainstream SSDs.

Corsair goes on SSD offensive, launches Reactor and Nova series drives
http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=22197

Spoiler

tsitaat:

Around this time last year, Corsair jumped into the SSD market with a splash - and though its Performance and Extreme series drives continue to offer hard-drive-shaming speeds - we've yet to see the California-based memory specialist really stretch its legs. Well, that's all about to change today with the introduction of four new drives as part of the companies Reactor and Nova series SSDs, all of which have made an appearance at UK retailer cclonline.com. Corsair's Reactor series, pictured above, arrives in 60GB and 120GB capacities, with early pricing set at around £147 and £285, respectively. We've yet to see any mention of which controller is used but we do know there's 128MB of onboard cache, and read and write speeds are quoted at 250MB/s and 110MB/s, respectively, for the 60GB drive, whilst the larger 120GB offering will hit 250MB/s and 170MB/s. Corsair reckons the Reactor series offers "the perfect balance of performance and value", but considering the speeds and pricing, these look to be direct replacements for the existing Performance line. Need more choice? There's also the all-new Nova series, available in 64GB and 128GB capacities, with pricing currently at around £155 and £295, respectively. With the Nova you'll be treated to the popular Indilinx Barefoot controller, and read speeds of up to 215MB/s. The 60GB drive will net you write speeds of 130MB/s, whilst the range-topping 128GB model will peak at an impressive 195MB/s. A like for like replacement for the existing Extreme series range, perhaps? All four drives ship with TRIM support right out of the box, and we expect Corsair's latest to show up at various retailers by the end of the week. *Update* Corsair's latest drives have surfaced on the virtual shelves of SCAN.co.uk*, with pricing at £146.70 and £284.63 for the Reactor drives and £154.82 and £292.75 for the respective Nova models. Looks as though those initial pricing figures were spot on.

TomsHardware kajastas hiljuti üht ülevaatlikku SSD-de võrdlust. Tuleb välja, et säästumälu pole väga mõtet omandada kui ei raatsi paar tuhat selle peale panna. Muidugi Intel G2 tegi puhta töö. Võrdluseks oli ka Raptor toodud.

[Kristoferr]

Tundub olema suht porno ajastus, mul SSD osta kuna 25nm on aasta teises pooles tulemas. Kahjuks ei taha kohe üldse enam oodata
Nii palju, kui uurinud olen, siis http://arvutikeskus.ee/index.php?action=look&lookid=89552 tundub hetkel parim hinna/perf suhe.
80gb oleks miinimum mu masinasse.
Lingil antud M seeria teeb kuskil 250read ja 70write.

E seeria või analoog on juba üle mõistuse kallis.

[AJ]

Kristoferr, mul kastis sama ketas. Kuidagi ei tahtnud W7-t HDD peale installida. Ketta peal kül kirjas, et Kingstan aga arvuti tunneb selle ära kui Inte X25-M'i.

[Tomorrow]

[Kristoferr]

AJ, Ta tegelikult ongi inteli X25-Mi kloon. Lihtsalt toodetud Kingstoni poolt vms ja sõbralikum hind.

Edit: üks mees oli kiirem

[AJ]

Seda tean, et tegemist on sisuliselt sama tootega. Sai enne ostmist hulga ülevaateid läbi loetud. Ma lihtsalt arvasin, et nad on viitsinud nii palju vaeva näha, et seda SSD-d tuntakse ära kui Kingston-i. Hind on jah sõbralikum aga võiks olla veel parem.

V seeria on suht pointless jah. V+ seeriast alates võib juba võtta.

Vahel leiab siin foorumites normaalseid pakkumisi. Vähe kasutatud SSD pole halb, kui saad ta 1000-2000eek odavamalt.

krt ma ei saa aru miks need kettad nii kallid on. see tehnika, mis on pöörleva ketta sees peaks olema oluliselt kallim ja vajab karmimaid tingimusi kokku panekuks... SSD on tavaline trükiplaat mälude ja kontrolleritega ehk kividega

[AJ]

[Kristoferr]

Sama võid küsida, miks ddr3 nii kallis on. 4gb kit u1500eek. Ilmselt peitub vastus tootmise tehnoloogia kalliduses. Ma ei usu hetkekski, et keegi siin otseselt hiigelkasumeid nende ketaste pealt teenib.
SSD on turul olnud ikka üsna mitu aastat ja konkurents oleks hinnad ammu õiglaseks surunud.
Ma sain oma 120gb OCZ Vertexi 3500eestimaisega ja rahul. Perfi kasv tavalise läpaka kettaga võrreldes on ikka ulmeline.
Kui kiiret programmide loadimist ja data transferi tahad, siis tuleb kahjuks see papp välja käia.

Üks rumal küsimus ka: millised oleks Acronisega image ülekandmise puudused/konksud puhta installi ees? Mis katki saab minna?

Ja teine rumal küsimus: mille poolest Kingstoni M seeria parem on (tootja hindab teda justkui kõrgemalt) kui V+? Viimane peaks ju kiirem olema?

Mushkin Io series 128GB SSD Review
http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/mushkin_io_128gb/

[Kristoferr]

tomorrow, suure tõenäosusega PCI-E SSD muutub hoopiski järjest vähem populaarseks. PCI-E-2 x16 pakub küll (kümneid kordi)rohkem, kui piisavalt läbilaskevõimet (8GB/s), kuid uus -juba välja tulnud Sata 3 pakub ka juba 6 Gbit/s, mida siiamaani ükski SSD ei suudaks ära kasutada. Tõsi on, et Sata 2 võib teatud olukorras SSD ketastele vist jalgu jääda.

NU raid0 SSD puhul võibki sata2 < pci-e. Üldiselt aga ei tohiks kiiruse vahe eriti märgatav olla. Sata 3 - pci-e puhul veel vähem. PCI-e porti võiks ikka muudel otstarvetel kasutada. PCI-e SSD ketastel minu arvates siiski pikka pidu enam pole.

[Kristoferr]

Wikipediast sai ekstra järgi vaadatud aga lugesin nüüd üle, et max read speed on siiski 715MBs Nagu ma wiki jutust aru saan.
Siiski peaks sellest SSD kahe ketta Raid0 -ks piisama.

[londiste]

6gbit/s = 750mb/s, 715mb/s kanti peaks olema max reaalselt saavutatav (minimaalse overheadiga). nagu nimetuski räägib, 600mb/s on projekteeritud garanteeritud kiirus.

Jaan, paranda kui eksin, aga mäletamist mööda ka single ssd-d on jõudnud kuskile 250mb/s kanti.
