Yup. Understood.
I understand, in general, what you are saying
by processing big data on Vertex solid state drive.

Yet I suspect the specifics might go either way.
It depends. Case by case.
Meaning "working time of winrar"
might be put on the fast RAM disk ANS-9010 or
might be put on the slower Platter disk.

That's one reason for 12Gb.
8 Gb for O/S + Apps (might only need 6 not 8 Gb)
4 Gb for small and mid-size data "processed" by ANS-9010
Like "working time of winrar"


Namaste

Yup, that might be.
Yet, I suspect it depends on size of data.

That’s an interesting comparison.
Canadian dollars newegg.ca:

SSD for O/S, Apps, Data
$726.55 RAID 0 Intel X25-M 080+080=160Gb with taxes and shipping

versus

DSSD (Dynamaic SSD) ACARD ANS-9010 for O/S, Apps
$581.85 RAID 0 ANS-9010 12 Gb with taxes and shipping

and

Platter drive (low cost, high capacity) for Data.
$100.00 for 1 Terabyte Platter drive for Data


For about the same price of some $700 in RAID 0:
SSD has a 160 Gb cap (O/S, Apps, Data)

versus

DSSD 9010 using 12 Gb (O/S, Apps) and a
1000 Gb cap (Data).

FYI
ANS-9010 performance test reports at
www 2san com

I suspect a SSD will fall somewhere in-between a
WDHDD and DSSD ACARD ANS-9010.
This PDF report suggests the 9010 is scalable.
(2 units giving 4 SATA cables going to motherboard)


Test Result_HD Tune 3.10 - File Benchmark, Read, 8192:

077 MB/sec WDHDDx1
175 MB/sec 9010 x1 port


155 MB/sec WDHDDx2-RAID0
355 MB/sec 9010 x2 port-RAID0


520 MB/sec 9010 x3 port-RAID0


645 MB/sec 9010 x4 port-RAID0



Cheers!

As jmke says, the general use of your PC wil profit much more from a single SSD then a Acard at the end of the day

Acard + HDD = OS and Apps boot fast, data processing from, to and on the HDD is as slow as usual ... (assuming there is no space on the Acard left)

SSD + HDD = OS and Apps boot fast, data processing on SSD goes amazingly fast. The HDD serves only as storage.

I got myself a 60Gb Vertex 2nd hand for 150€ and can't imagine a Acard being faster for my daily use ... if i wanted to crush a PCMark score, THEN the Acard comes in handy

1.00 EUR = 1.58075 CAD
€450 EUR = $711.33 CAD


Does this mean €450 EUR for a Intel X25-M ?
Which Gb size?

you can't just use google converter for prices; they are regional
160Gb X25-M G2
€425 http://tones.be/shop_product.php?idx=107240
€570 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-017-_-Product

> 160Gb X25-M G2

How come M versus E?
What's advantage of M versus E?

Meaning:
Intel X25-M G2 versus
Intel X25-E (Extreme SATA Solid-State Drive)



Namaste!

The Extreme series uses SLC vs MLC on the X25-M series.
Quote:
Lower priced drives usually use multi-level cell (MLC) flash memory, which is slower and less reliable than single-level cell (SLC) flash memory
in short:
* SLC offers better performance AND longer life time but is much more expensive
* MLC offers better price/performance ratio, but shorter life expectancy

X25-M is much better optimized for desktop/workstation use... X25-E is faster on paper but X25-M still beats it in some tests, especially so with the newer G2 X25-M's.
