9 Mtron SSD's in RAID 0

jmke · 14th December 2007, 08:59

Our test bench had a total of 9 X Mtron 16GB SSD's (Solid State Drive's) in Raid 0. As you can imagine, a drive setup like this can cost upwards of $7000 at the present time. We horded and jumped onto this technology fast at NLH. We decided heck, why not try and test out the theoretical maximums on throughput using these SSD's? Yes I know exactly what you're thinking: Who in their right mind would have a drive setup like this?

allright

. I wonder if you can get close to this by using some cheaper ($30/GB) SDHC cards

I don't think you'd find any SDHC readers that don't use the USB bus...
