SSD Thread (Benchmarks, Brands, News, and Advice)

Intel X25-E 64GB, bought 6 months ago. Installed into a VAIO Z. Full SATA II 3Gbps support. So far so good, no performance degradation, no problem with large amount of random reads/writes, no problem with large number of concurrent I/Os. Sexy 4k random. Immune to most shock damage; almost zero thermal power.

Can boot up Windows Server 2008 R2 (as host OS) within 22 seconds, including swiping fingerprint. Desktop becomes instantly available. (Chrome can be ready for use instantly after taskbar appears.)

Can boot up 3 operating systems (Windows 2000 + Windows XP + Ubuntu 6.06) simultaneously in VMware, within 60 seconds. (It is known that HDD takes forever to do this, and some low-end SSD may stuck with this...)

The only problem is the capacity - can't store all the BluRay movies.

See attached s/s for benchmark results.

250 MB/s sequential read;
170 MB/s sequential write;
10,000+ IOPS for 512 bytes random under HD Tune Pro 3.5;
Over 20 MB/s for 4k random under HD Tune Pro 3.5;
36788 HDD Score in PCMark 05.

(Note: HD Tune Pro 3.5 does not provide consistent results comparable with results from other benchmark software.)
