Look forward to the results from your tests with the server.<br /><br />If you're looking at SSD in a RAID... Take a look at <a href="http://hackaday.com/2009/03/09/24-solid-state-drives-in-raid/" rel="nofollow">this!</a><br /><br />Also... Hate to be the one that spoils things... RAID0 is not really RAID. The 'R' in RAID stands for Redundant, where as 'RAID'0 is not at all redundant (more like AIDS =P)<br />Although, I must admit, it does have its merits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976686513564131325.post-5378399153839546192009-10-13T22:04:20.106-06:002009-10-13T22:04:20.106-06:00Vlad,

On board and add-in RAID will be used to test performance differences.<br /><br />So far the drive's performance in the Netbook has really been an eye opener.<br /><br />I plan on striping a couple of them (RAID 0) in my own workstation built on Intel's previous Extreme x38 generation to see just how far things can be pushed.<br /><br />I can see why Adaptec has built their next generation RAID Caching on SSDs due to the huge performance gain.<br /><br />PhilipPhilip Elder Cluster MVPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06082028960643490292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976686513564131325.post-86009586272014640042009-10-12T04:06:28.265-06:002009-10-12T04:06:28.265-06:00Have you ever tried some real stress testing, like...Have you ever tried some real stress testing, like running a server on top of this in RAID1 or RAID0 configuration?<br /><br />Our new platform runs 100% out of RAM and for the time being we're OK with nodes between 64 and 96 GB because it's cheaper than SSD and we use replication for failover, not RAID... but curious to see what the future holds for RAID-SSD..<br /><br />Some charts I've seen of the previous generation are absolutely unbelievable.<br /><br />-VladVlad Mazekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05613073111629014683noreply@blogger.com
