They sound too good to be true!
MB/s numbers are not a good indication of performance. What you should pay attention to are usually random IOPS write and read. They tend to correlate a bit, but those numbers on newegg are probably just best case from the manufacturer. In the world of consumer grade SSDs, Intel has crushed everyone on IOPS performance.. but the other manufacturers are starting to catch up a bit. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
