Goldenfir SSDs test out to be as good as Micron's mid-range models, because they use the same controller chip and memory chips as Micron's mid range, but cost much less. Unlike how many companies publish absolute best case performance for their storage, this guy's benchmarks are well above Goldenfir's published performance specs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n8Foung0Bs

I've been running 2 of my machines on 60GB SSD's, which are about 3 to 4x faster than spinning rust. Now 120GB's are under 50 bucks. And they are quicker than stink with read rates of 250 megs/second and up. You'' think a 10 yo Dell is a brand new machine. Being aware that they will fail at some point due to write wear, I'd expect the 120's will outlast the 60 by a factor of 4 or so, and the first "60" is 300.5 days old running in the Dell that runs my G0704. Smartctl says no re-allocated sectors yet, pretty good for what is now a $30 drive from newegg. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
