Is there any need to shortstroke SSD's?

reygjabla · 8 Aug 2010 at 16:13

More available nand for wear levelling purposes only specially as trim is not available on raided ssd's.

My current setup, not quite SSD, but a reasonable compromise between ssd and traditional hdd's. And it works quite well, the small ramdrive (well, relatively small), works well for temporary files, all the small stuff that windows loves to write to the HD...and best of all, no drive cell wear. I appreciate this isn't your normal PC, but it works well

Here is my new C300 64gb with the Asus u3s6 card on sata 3

gareth170 · 14 Aug 2010 at 12:52

1 question, why is the ATA/ATAPI- Number different on some of the hdds? i'm guess that the speed? if so is there different sata cables like the ide ATA 66/100/133 cables?

all the drives are sata II

Mate, I may be missing something but your performance up to 8m is allot worse than my single C300.
