X25-E is faster still;) SLC vs MLC;
but are we looking at price or not?

got any data to back up your claim? theoretical bandwidth means nothing, PCMark05 HDD is all about random mixed read/write IO; raw sequential speeds tell us nothing ;) hence the specs don't matter;

RAW data, random 4k write:
- X25-M 23mb/s
- Vertex 6.47mb/s
- JMicron Core/Solid V1/V2: 0.02mb/s

Vertex is 323x times faster than Core/Solid SSD, Intel X25-M is 1150x times faster



that's because XP startup is a random read/write 4k benchmark, where JMicron drives suck compared to Vertex/Intel



SINGLE vertex PCM05: 78mb/s http://hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=836355
imagine 4 of them in RAID 0 ;)

please quote me where I talk about stuttering?
single vertex reaches 80~100mb/s in XP startup test
two in raid double of that, 4x of them in RAID without MFT who knows;)
cache can only help so much...

I don't dispute this, but have you already forgotten about Massman's troubles with single/double Core V2's in PC05 ? There wasn't any scaling at all... this has nothing to do with 4k random read/write, but is a SSD scaling problem in PC05.
