Excellent Performance and Endurance
10/03/2011
This review is from: Intel 710 Series ( Lyndonville) 2.5" SATA II eMLC SSDSA2BZ100G301
Pros:
Very fast: 160Mbytes/s+ bulk read and write; 4k+ small block writes/s. 500Tb+ written rated endurance.
Cons:
Would be nice if the price were lower. If you need huge storage space (Tb) then these drives are not for you (unless you have infinite budget).
Overall Review:
I bought one of these drives the week after they were available and installed it in a test server that has an Opteron 6128 and 64G memory. With the SSD the entire system fits nicely into a 14" deep 1U case and draws between 90 and 140W depending on workload. Performance is excellent : it would take a string of 15K SAS drives with a BBU/WBC controller to achieve similar performance to this tiny drive. We're planning to switch over our production servers to these SSDs once testing is complete.
