I can't wait for the new X25-M. Recently threw a 160GB X25-M (first gen) in a datamining database server to replace a 6x15k SCSI RAID 10 array, and it was 2.5x

I can't wait for the new X25-M. Recently threw a 160GB X25-M (first gen) in a datamining database server to replace a 6x15k SCSI RAID 10 array, and it was 2.5x faster. One disk faster than six.
- riobard 17y agoInteresting! Can you elaborate a little bit on the usage pattern and how you measured the speedup, please?
- chrisbolt 17y agoIt was a very simple, unscientific test: ran a MySQL query with the old drives, then ran it on the new drive. Old drives took 5 minutes, new drive took less than 2 minutes.
- zokier 17y agoI'd add at least another disk and build a raid1-array. With a single-disk setup you miss the greatest feature of RAID, redundancy.
