RAID-10 (0+1) üle nelja SSD:


Paistab, et siin saab ICH9R'i ramm otsa ja edasi tuleb vaadata mõnda korralikku PCI-E 8x RAID kaarti...
Tigmas on kaks 3Ware kaarti olemas, mida ehk õnnestub testida. Kiidetakse veel Adaptec'il 5405 kontroller, mida tuleks kaa testida...
Teoorias võiks ikkagi sinna 1GB/s tulemuseni jõuda õige kontrolleriga.

Tean. Samas kui loed Adaptec'i 5405'e spec'i siis peaks nii 3ware kui Areca kontrad saama seal peaaegu kahekordselt IO'ga vastu päid ja jalgu (250,000 IO/s) . 5405'l on peal ju 1,2GHz'ne storage processor, 8x PCI-E ning kiire DDR2 mälu!

Hinnalipik annab ka vastu pead
ICH10R peaks paremini hakkama saama

[Andrus Luht]

Väga hull polegi. Sain UKst koos transaga kasutatud 5405'e kätte alla £200.
ICH10R'iga on see pudelikael ~100MB/s kõrgemal. Netis review'd olemas.

[Andrus Luht]

DonNiger, sellest poleks kasu. Ma tean, kuhu sa sihid aga tänased failisüsteemid ei kustuta infot reaalselt kettalt vaid ainult FAT'ist/MFT'st/jne. Ootan ise samamoodi, millal Intel reliisib TRIM funktsiooniga firmware. W7'l on tugi olemas selleks. OCZ'il on oma SSD'dele olemas mingi utiliit, millega käsitsi saab seda teha, Intel'il täna paraku veel mitte...

[rene p]

Aasta lõpupoole lubavad alles seda trim supported firmware Inteli ketastele, nagu sellest anandi artiklist lugeda võib.

[Andrus Luht]

DonNiger, peale trim'i on ketas praktiliselt sama, mis uus. Vahe on mõni protsent ja põhjus peamiselt ketta loogikas ja mitte kivides endis...

Intel to Ship Value-Based X25-X SSD in Q4
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/Intel-SSD-Value-X25-X-Storage,news-32083.html

Spoiler

tsitaat:

An Intel partner recently informed us that Intel has an upcoming value SSD called the X25-X, which will be based on 34nm Flash memory, thus providing consumers a lower pricetag and competitive performance. The SSD will fall short in both price and speed in comparison to Intel's X25-M series, which offers 250 MB/sec. read speeds, and 70 MB/sec. write speeds. Intel's other SSD, the X25-E, provides 250 MB/sec. read speeds and 170 MB/sec. write speeds, and costs a rather pretty penny. According to specs revealed to us, the value SSD will provide reading speeds of up to 170 MB/sec. and write speeds of up to 40 MB/sec. The drive is poised to be priced under $160. The X25-X should ship sometime before the end of the year, and will arrive as a 2.5-inch MLC drive with an earnest 40 GB capacity.

Rääkige, mis asjad W7 all vaja väljalülitada, ala prefetdh ja superfetch? Või on W7-ga vähe paremad lood, et ei sega need asjad, oskab windooza ise aru saada, et SSD masinas vms?
Ühesõnaga kõik mis vaja välja lükata märkige ära ja kust, või mismoodi oleks ka hea. Muidu otsimisega googlist leidsin enamus mingid õpetused XP ja Vista tarbeks vms.

[Andrus Luht]

W7'ga pole midagi vaja välja lülitada. W7 on SSD-aware ehk siis ta oskab seda ise ära kasutada õigesti. Oskab rohkemgi kui täna näiteks X25 seeri inteli ssd'd.

[rene p]

Siis on hea, et ei pea miskit lisaks näppima. Trim firmware on ka kohe-kohe saabumas vist. See oleks nagu kindlasti peale vaja lasta eks?
Ah ja 1 küsimus veel. Milline oleks parim allocation size vms, kui partitsioone teha kettale?

Väga paljudel on peale seda uut firmware update jama ketastega, ei tööta enam. Proovisin ka täna teha seda, kisas, et ei leia ketast. Ühesõnaga vedas, et ei teinud seda updatet ära, muidu oleks ka rma laks äkki. Alles peale seda, kui ei updatenud ketast, hakkasin uurima, mis kala on ja siis leidsin inteli foorumist hunniku poste ja inimesi, kes kurtsid et ketas ei tööta enam.

minul tegi igatahes ilusti ära ja töötab väga hästi uus update!

Jamasi jah olnud selle uuendusega.

Intel Firmware update leaves some SSDs dead
http://www.tweaktown.com/news/13381/intel_firmware_update_leaves_some_ssds_dead/index.html

Spoiler

tsitaat:

Intel recently launched a new firmware for their 34nm SSD drives. Unfortunately, as of last night, there seems to be a growing number of people that are finding their expensive solid-state drives dead after the installation. The sequence of events seems to follow these lines; Firmware updated successfully, reboot into windows, new drivers/updated drivers installed, reboot, disk mount failure. This issue has popped on more than a few forums including HardOCP and Intel’s community support forum. As of this writing no one seems to know what the direct cause is. Personally I have a feeling that the issue is due to the way the current firmware writes information to the drive, the new one is more-than-likely changing the write and read tables. This could be nothing more than people updating without blanking the drive to ensure that the tables match the state of the drive (all zeroes). We will try to contact Intel about this and see if this is the case. Of course if this is the case I have to wonder why the update utility would not write zeroes to the drive during the update to prevent this. Perhaps (again if this is what is happening) Intel needs to rewrite the installer to do this during the update to prevent future drive failures.

[VeixES]

2x 80GB SSD-d uuendatud. Mõlemad uuendatud bootiva plaadiga. 1 on macbookis ja seni probleeme ei ole ning teine on ibm t61-s kus jookseb XP pro ning samuti kõik OK. XP all Inteli SSD toolbox toimis ja sai optimiseerida ketast.

[rene p]

Eks see ole jah selline 50/50 võimalus, et töötab või mitte. Igaks juhuks ootan ära, mida Intel teeb, sest see versioon eemaldati ära nende poolt oma lehelt.

Intel to launch low-cost 40GB SSD, new enterprise lineup
http://www.techspot.com/news/36918-intel-to-launch-lowcost-40gb-ssd-new-enterprise-lineup.html

Spoiler

tsitaat:

Intel plans to release a $120 40GB SSD, which the company hopes will be adopted as a boot drive in servers, or potentially used in low-end laptops and netbooks. Intel is also working a new line of enterprise-class SSDs including models that are 50GB, 100GB, and 200GB in capacity. The new series of SSDs would be a substantial boost from the company's currently available enterprise drives -- the X25-E -- which only ships in 32GB and 64GB capacities. Behind the scenes, Intel's 40GB X25-V is known as the Glen Brook drive. In order to meet its $120 price-point, the drive will use MLC NAND flash memory. It's currently shipping to system makers in sample volumes and should be widely available in January. Meanwhile, Intel's less cost-prohibited enterprise SSD series will use SLC NAND flash chips, and should bring a 40% price cut (or about $6.50 per gigabyte), over the X25-E series. For instance, the upcoming 50GB enterprise drive is planned to have an MSRP of $350. Samples of the new lineup should ship in April and are expected to be available in July, 2010.

Intel Delivers Fresh SSD Firmware Update, Brings TRIM Support

Niisiis, uus katse Inteli poolt korralik FW välja lasta
Lasin ise siis prooviks selle peale ja pidin jälle väikse südamerabanduse alguses saama
Tegi siis seda update-t päris pikalt ja siis ütleb miski errori. Mõtlesin juba, et nii ketas õhtal omadega nüüd. Tegin shutdown nagu vaja jne. Proovisin teist korda uuesti, ütles et FW on juba uuendatud. Noh väike lootus tekkis, et polegi õhtal.
Siis kui juba windoozasse laadis, siis oli selge, et polegi vaja garantiiga mässama hakata õnneks.
Tundub, et asi toimib ka paremini, kui eelmine FW
