SSD Stands for Solid State Drive
I currently own a 10k Raptor, 500GB WD and a 40GB Intel SSD ran Bench marks and here is what i found.
SSD All Your Base Belong To US
SSD is the clear winner with 0.1 MS Response times and lighting Speed reads Old platter drives are done
In few weeks I am going to set up two of the Intel SSD in Raid 0 I will post its benchmarks here

I have a WD Raptor 74GB. Thought it was the fastest for ~years~. When i tested it against a 1TB 5400rpm drive that averaged at 101 MB/sec on HD Tune Pro i realised the Raptor was old and needs replacing as my Windows system drive.

I also have a SSD.
The SSD i have is an OCZ Vertex Series S-ATA II 2.5" 120 GB that is my OS drive. And that one is pretty nice except for when it's about very small files.
Anyways, here you can see some benchmarks i did in EVEREST Ultimate Edition in the Disk Benchmark tool there.
Ok, the first test is the Linear Read Benchmark.
Then you have the Random Read Benchmark.
And to the last benchmark i did that is the Buffered Read Benchmark.
As you can see, i'm gaining the full speed of what the SSD can deliver in performance, also: Read: Up to 250 MB/s.
The reason i use EVEREST Ultimate Edition to benchmark my SSD, is because EVEREST is know for having a good way to do the benchmarks.
So xavier69, your Intel SSD got wtfpwned by my SSD heh .

As Listed on Newegg
OCZ Vertex Series OCZSSD2-1VTX120G 2.5" 120GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) $329.99
Intel X25-V SSDSA2MP040G2R5 2.5" 40GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) $114.99
181.7/251.2/237.8 [no MS value assume 0.1]
127.5/222.0/187.8/0.1/
The reality is your drive is a wee bit faster but comes in at nearly 3 times the cost.
I am happier with the performance to price ratio of the Intel drive, A true test would be to compare your drive to the 80gb Intel ssd.
When I buy the second drive for 114.99, I will most certainly blow your drive out of the water and do it for over 100 dollars less.
Value to performance is important this ratio dictates what is mainstream hardware and what is the play thing of rich kids. Intel is making ssd an affordable mainstream hardware.
In 2weeks I will post the benchmarks with two of 40GB ssd in raid 0. As Intel has fixed the trim issue and Raid 0

Yeah, my SSD is a bit more expensive, so your right about that.
And i'm looking forward to your benchmarks of the dual 40 GB Intel SSD though.
EDIT: Yeah, my access time on my SSD is 0.1 ms.

My final thoughts on it really is about WD and there lack of emergence into the SSD market.
I think if they don't start soon western digital will become the next blockbuster video getting put out of business by netflix & Redbox as ssd is becoming an affordable mainstream technology that will replace platter drives in 2-5 years.

The controller on the SSd makes a HUGE difference. SSD drives are still very new and all companies are working on compatibility issues while trying to push their devices on the market.
When buying the drives, make sure you look for new drives just coming on the market. they are about the same price but are quite well designed.
aim for Intel Gen2 ssds or any of the new 6gb/s drives. I am happy with my A-data drive as primary windows partition, but the speed increase over a high density drive like a 1.5tb is not that huge.
BTW, high capacity drives do not need to spin fast due to the density of the platters. passing a full rotation of a 1.5TB drive platter goes through so much more data then a 250gb platter, that doubling the speed of the drive does not come close to catching up to the difference in data output.

Still have 2 Raptor X's but the performance increase with SSD makes me cry, I can't really justify spending more cash on my box just yet heh :/

Watching these drives carefully for my next system. At the moment looking at the Intel M range.
Im curious to know though, i take it this technology is basically using EEPROMs. These if i remember rightly usually came with a 'good for 1 million writes' sort of calming warranty to users. Are these solid state drives essentially the same, or has the technology moved on ?
Reason i ask is because the first thing you would want to do is remove any sort of cache from being used on that SSD... or is that what everyone does anyway ?

As promised, a side by side view of single 40GB Intel SSD M25-V and then 2 in Raid O
I am happy for just over $200.00

I am also thinking of eventually getting one for my computer. Just keep in mind these are best used for BOOT DRIVES, not storage. At least not yet.
According to Tom's Hardware, not all are created equal, and the best brand out there is Intel, namely the X25 versions.
