MTRON SSD performance

[samsc]

The MTRON SATA 32GB SSD -

http://www.dvnation.com/nand-flash-ssd.html

can do 11 dv movies at 25 fps with random access playback mode on every layer - not just play loop fwd

max 3147 can only do half this-

Machine tested is 8 core intel 3.0GHz.
Do 8 cores make any difference- NO- 4 reducing 8 core machine to only use 4 CPU's does not change performance.

dv codec is the fastest - performance characteristics are different with photojpeg - photojpeg is cpu limited - not disc.

Does changing the number of cpu's then affect performance of photo-jpeg?

i dont think so.
tests i did with a quad g5 and an 8 core intel using a ram disk ( not ssd ) showed very similar jpeg performance.

gian gets 4 layers from his 'RAID' in his mac pro,.

I get 11 layers from my Solid state disc. with complete random access.

this may sound ridiculous to ask ... but does this mTron fit into MacPros HD internal bays right ?

Just wanna make sure , Cheers

i have a 2.5" SSD Sata drive - the same as laptop drives- the sata connections are the same - the physical size of drive might fit with a chassis adaptor. i dont have one.

i have a 2.5" SSD Sata drive -

I saw a 3.5" will that fit in the internal bay ?

i dont know. ask them.
it was more money for 3.5inch version.

Wow, I would love to buy 4 of these per machine and raid them together! It would be awesome!

hybrid drives - with 1GB memory and a hard disc-

The Mcell is an interesting beast. In terms of size, it fits in the standard 3.5" form factor, but inside it actually contains a 2.5" 5400rpm hard drive, a stick of 1GB DDR2 RAM,
