history
In
July 2008 -
ACARD unveiled the
9010
RAM Disk - a 5.25" form factor, 64GB SATA compatible
RAM SSD.
In a
test report
sequential write performance on a single SATA port is quoted as follows,
29MB/s (512B), 100MB/s (4kB), and 151MB/s (64kB).
Throughput for 2
ports was approximately 2x a single port. Unlike a
flash SSD - the
random write performance was similar to the sequential (in some cases better.)

| Surviving SSD
sudden power loss |
Why should you care
what happens in an SSD when the power goes down?
This important design
feature - which barely rates a mention in most SSD datasheets and press releases
- has a strong impact on
SSD data integrity
and operational
reliability.
This article will help you understand why some
SSDs which (work perfectly well in one type of application) might fail in
others... even when the changes in the operational environment appear to be
negligible. |
