Test af SanDisk SATA 5000 2.5" Solid State Harddisk




Tomshardware.com har lavet en test af SanDisks SATA 5000 Solid State Harddisk (SSD). I Testen sættes disken op imod en lang række konventionelle harddiske, og på langt de fleste områder imponere harddisken med uovertruffen performance.

Dog er det ikke på alle punkter SSD systemet trækker fra. Hvis disken bruges som lager for database- eller filserver, falder ydelse drastisk ved skrivning til forskellige RAM celler samtidig. Derudover er SSD harddiske stadig meget dyre, og dette afspejles også i deres konklussion.

Her er et engelsk uddrag fra artiklen:

The read performance of this product is somewhere between impressive and plain awesome. No other drive in a 2.5" form factor offers higher transfer rates, better minimum transfer rates or quicker access time. In addition, flash-based drives will contribute to extending battery run times on notebooks, as their power requirements are 30-400% below the energy consumption of traditional 2.5" hard drives. The time saved when launching applications such as Windows is reason enough for me to purchase one of these drives for my notebook soon. Indeed, real enthusiasts have no option but to invest in a SSD, because the performance is noticeably better than with any other hardware upgrade. For everyone else, I recommend waiting until these products become more affordable, because $400 for a 32-GB SDD is pretty much the cost of a 1-TB hard drive.
