** NEW CRAZY FAST SSD's!!! **

[Gibbo]

Hi there


Mach Xtreme seem to have designed a PCI-E SSD which actually works, the BIOS will just recognise it as a normal SSD, no drivers required, it simply works, check them out guys:-

The value for money one is clearly the 256GB and is our recommendation, let us know what you think of these guys. Because of course for slightly less money you could buy a pair of Samsung 840 EVO's and RAID 0 them for similar/better performance, though of course you loose TRIM then I think, so maybe not.

 

[bledd]

Any benchmarks yet?

 

[sunama]

Apart from benchmarks, would using one of these drives, to replace a "normal" SSD offer any noticable difference? Are these drives more suited to heavy server usage?

 

[Glanza]

Would be nice seeing some benchmarks compared to other ssds out there atm.

 

[swiftmetal]

I saw this
Seek Time <0.1ms
Jaw droped I think I have found my new boot drive.

 

[bemaniac]

They're keener priced than ocz especially the 256gb one and 512gb one. The 128 and 1tb don't seem quite the same price per gb but i guess you're paying more ofr the tech in the 128 than the nand and for the size luxuary with the 1tb.

 

[Dervious]

I was thinking of replacing my Evo 250 with one of these. I reckon it could reduce my boot time by a few seconds.

However, I`ve worked out that I can reduce my boot time to 0 seconds by leaving my PC on all the time. The £360 should easily cover the cost of electricity for the year, by which time a cheaper or faster SSD will be available.

Good Math

 

[Admiral Huddy]

IOPS of up to 100,00

is that 4k read/write?

I notice too this is smaller for the 128GB version (60,000 IOPS)

I reckon it would actually make your boot time longer, simply because the PC has to initialise the card. I suspect that for it to work without drivers, it needs to emulate a SATA interface, which the motherboard would have to enumerate, etc.

 

[darael]

Plenty of reviews out there covering aspects such as BIOS 'delays' and benchmarking the drive.

 

[SuBo]

Raided EVO's you say ? Tweaktown has ya covered ;

[Deleted member 138126]

Ah ok. So basically it is two stock-standard SATA3 SSDs in RAID 0.
