Long-term performance analysis of Intel Mainstream SSDs

[news 28]

For the past few months, we have been putting three Intel X25-M SSDs through

their paces in long-term real world usage scenarios. The results were

surprising to say the least. We explore the internals of these drives as to

determine the cause and attempt solutions of varying difficulties.

Quote: "Dozens of different scenarios were played out on our drives. XP /

Vista installs, repeated application / game installs, batch copying of

files, and custom IOMeter access patterns were all liberally applied to the

X25-M. Various combinations of the above all seemed to point to one common

denominator - all three of our SSDs suffered a drop in performance

regardless of the type of workload applied to them. The next sections will

explore the issues at hand while simultaneously addressing any steps that

can be done to counter the effects at play."

 

Thanks for a post!
