Time for an Upgrade

Sounds like MPC needs to upgrade the dream machine. The builds are quite similar.

I thought my Raid 0 was fast. I REALLY want one of those. That is some bragging rights. An just think of all the ladies I could pick up if I had those. JK. OMG... I want one...

That is the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy. I'm sure this thing will be waiting at Kessel for the Milenium Falcon to arrive.

Just to note for noting's

Just to note for noting's sake, but this isn't that impressive when you consider that the 24 connected drives are just bumping up against the bandwidth limit of a PCI Express x8 connection (2,000 MB/sec) -- assuming, as I am, that Samsung is using the biggest PCI Express x8 RAID card it can find.  I haven't known many, if any, consumer cards to come in PCI Express x16 versions.

That said, the theoretical maximum bandwidth of 24, 256GB Samsung SSDs is somewhere in the 5 GB/sec range.  While 2 GB/sec is nothing to scoff at, it also doesn't represent the potential maximum power of these drives.

Finally! An HDD setup that can *almost* keep up with the OC-384 I've always wanted!

Wow! I thought my hard drive setup was fast! Hard drives are usually the bottleneck when it comes to building a fast system. Not the proc, unless it's just really outdated. I've been using four 15,000 rpm SAS Cheetahs in RAID 0 with a Adaptec 31205 controller for over a year now and almost every program I have loads instantly. But not that fast! I only have an AMD X2 6400+ proc and I still get over a half gig/s of transfer speeds, but 2? All I can say is, I want some of that!

Awesome... but,

While this is thoroughly covered in awesomesause, it does bring to mind a few questions that I’ve been meaning to ask regarding SSD’s.
Mainly real-world questions like how much of a difference in write speed is there between a regular hard drive (no, not a raptor) and a SSD.  Would putting 2 of them in raid make a significant difference in read/write speed?  

The 24 SSD raid set up is incredible, but if Samsung, or any SSD vendor is really wanting to promote sales, then they would need to provide information that most people can use.  (although displays such as this is still kickass)

That is amazing, if only they could make SSD's pirces a little cheaper with more space and better write speed as well, and i would totally use them in my new machine
