OCZ’s new Octane SATA SSD pushes latency limits below 100μsec
OCZ just announced that their new Octane 1TB SSD can perform reads and writes under a 100 μsec. (specifically “Read: 0.06ms; Write: 0.09ms”). Such fast access times boggle the imagination and even with SATA 3 seems almost unobtainable. Speed matters, especially … Continue reading
Why SSD performance is a mystery?
SSD and/or SSS (solid state storage) performance is a mystery to most end-users. The technology is inherently asymmetrical, i.e., it reads much faster than it writes. I have written on some of these topics before (STEC’s new MLC drive, Toshiba’s … Continue reading
