What do you want to see first?

I just realized we have a fairly large backlog of SSDs that have been tested and results not published yet:

Samsung
SV843 960GB - Published 2015-02-06
XP941 512GB - Published 2015-02-16
SM843T 480GB - Published 2015-02-12
845DC Evo 480GB
850 Evo 500GB (for comparison purposes)
XS1715 800GB NVMe (and up to 4x for scaling)

And those are just off the top of my head. Does anyone have a burning need for any of these? Happy to re-prioritize if it would help.

 

[Patrick]

Added a few more. Yikes!

On of Sandisks would be interesting imo, Intel S3X00 performance is well document (is a relatively old drive), PCI-e are interesting but not really a "home drive". PX03SNB160 would also be neat as it is a large drive, something that those going all SSD may be interested in (Fewer large may be cheaper then lots of smaller + extra controllers).

H0ly cow that's a nice pile of SSD drives!!

H0ly cow that's a nice pile of SSD drives!!

Even with a 36 bay storage server I still have a shelf with tens of TBs of SSDs. I wanted to go build a data set, so that is what I am doing.

 

[nitrobass24]

I would say the Samsungs followed by the Intels

Would be interesting to see the results across a vendors product line and then see the different vendors compared against each other.

 

[KioskAdmin]

You put out 1/ day maybe 3-5 days a week. That's over a month straight right there. sandisk for me. Intel and Samsung everyone reviews. I do like you using the sas hba's though

 

[Biren78]

CloudSpeed Eco 960GB please. I'm mulling the 2 on ebay for 380 ea: SanDisk Smart 960GB SSD Cloudspeed Eco 1TB 2 5" SATA Internal Solid State Drive | eBay

 

[Patrick]

The Eco 960GB was scheduled for this week. Will move it to tomorrow.

 

[eva2000]

woah SSD envy

SM843T 480GB
845DC Evo 480GB
850 Evo 500GB (for comparison purposes)

Would be interesting, one of my clients is looking at a web host who uses the SM843T and PM853T

Added a few more published pieces.

Added -
Micron p320h 350GB - 2 purchased and incoming
Samsung XS1715 800GB - 4 purchased and incoming
Seagate 600 Pro 480GB - 2 purchased and incoming

Now all I have to do is figure out a test bed for the Micron/ Samsung 2.5" drives and hope I can resell them so I do not lose my shirt building the data set for STH.

Also, want to figure out if there is interest in RAID 0 results. I have been buying more than 1 of a lot of these drives for RAID 0 testing and possible RAID 1 use.

HOLY ____!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You need to load all that up and see if you can pull 20GBps or something insane like that. Those samsungs can do like 3GBps each, the Intel P3700's are like 2.8GBps and the Crucials are like 1.75GBps each?

3 * 4 + 2.8 * 2 + 1.75 * 2 = 21.1gbps

You'd need a slot for the PCIe card and then 7x PCI-E x4 slots right? I wonder if a single CPU could handle that bandwidth. A xeon E5-2609 v2 only had up to about 42GBps RAM bandwidth.

 

[TangoWhiskey9]

I can't even imagine that. Holy hell. Subscribed.

I am so waiting for those four Samsung XS1715 drives to get benchmarked as RAID0 10 !!

Me too! Now I just need a system that can handle all four.

I can't find anyone who sells the 8-disk AIC SB122-TO, but would the Supermicro SYS-2028U-TNR4T+ do? I can get one.

You posted this today.

@dba I've have seen a AIC reseller.

 

[Patrick]

OK updated. @dba do you have one on hand? Shoot me a note. I will probably want to sell at least some of these soon!
