NoScream~SPARTA~ Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 When normal SATA II 6Gbit interfaced SSD is not fast enough...... PCI Express-Based SSDs: When SATA 6 Gb/s Is Too Slow An average drive transfers data @ around 70-100 MB/s A good HDD does around 100-130 MB/s A good SSD can run up 150-230 MB/s A performance SSD can muster 200-300 MB/s Running in Raid 1 (striped for speed, 2 drives) you can practically double those figures. PROBLEM SATA II 6Gbit/s interfaces have a max transfer of 600 MB/s per channel max PCi-e interface direct to memory goes beyond.

MedicSN6 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Sometimes I don t know what s the right word to describe you bro !! Shit son, I got 2! You'd think, for 12 grand, they'd put a plastic shroud on it to make it look cool. maybe a shitty fan that fails within the first month so you have to go buy a whole new card.
