Thats with write-cache buffering off, nothing else done to it. Transfer speeds are pretty good, but I think it does very well in the file benchmark.

Not a bad $80 storage drive :thumbsup:

Hell, I use my 500gb Black's for benching. No $$$ yet for ssd's.... too many parts that are more important... :ohcrap:

Thanks for posting the results! Very helpful :thumbsup:

when i'm benching ..i usually get 10-30 bsods or videocard freezes..

reboot with ssd is so much faster....windows load time is in about 12 seconds compared to hdd which is about 30seconds for vraptors...

access time of ssd is many much faster...:thumbsup:

I have about 7 36Gb raptors, one for each platform. With XP 32bit bench OS, from power on to windows takes about 10 seconds.

With my daily Vlited Win7 64bit on my SSD, its about 22 seconds from power button to on.

Yeppers. I have this same drive for my backup drive.

This is my storage drive as well :) I have dropped it from 5 feets about 100x now, hot swapped it in and out 100x and still kicking like new.

whats your point?

anyone whos benched ssd's knows they arent worth SHAT..... they corrupt too easy....

this drive is the SHIZ, and if you havent sold already please pm me and I will buy just for teh pure fact that im drunk and hate to see people piss on others sale threads...


call me an asshole if you want but thats just crap my friend :Hi:


pm me ill take it

never had corruption on my ssds...

Not having corruption means you aren't pushing hard enough.

It's easy to say ssd's are better benchers when you do not push them... the proof is in the pudding. Hard disks corrupt less at higher clocks... Period. It has a lot to do with the way and rate the drives write.

LOL @ Punx's drunken schoolings. Btw this is not a FS thread. It is a hdd info thread. Still does not need pooping on. :thumbsup:

SSD's corrupt very easy if not very stable.... try overclocking higher than than a dummy OC with one. (have a backup image ready btw ;))

and im not trying to be a dick honda, but what you did would be like me posting pics and timeslips of my blown stroker motored car, and you jumping in and saying yeah thats nice but a $1.2M Bugatti can go way faster. Yes it can but mine is still thje more practical/affordable/stable solution by far.



lmao.... I saw a price on the bottom and know that cecil has been selling alot on here recently :blush:

Ill still buy it or them lol just to mess with but i think my raid 0 300GB vr's may still be ok for data
