Comment Re:RAID? (Score 1) 256
I have a samsung pro SSD. In rapid mode I get about 540 - 600 gigs a second and that is on a 2010 era machine with just sata3. It can go up to 750 gigs a second close to the mac unit on sata6.
Best $250 investment I made considering it is 256 gb. I have a slower 256 gig sansdisk that is only 320 gigs a second. But to be honest I notice no difference between the two when loading star wars the old republic levels and booting. It is latency and IOPS per second that impact performance the most unless you do straight heavy reads and writes.
Even copying from a hard disk that I use too for storage it gets 160 megs a second copy. FOr my 40 gig game installs this task of moving used to take 35 minutes. It now takes 9 minutes. SSD to SSD copy takes 3 minutes
