MTRON SSD performance

[FxDrew]

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.

Is this using the MOBI 3000 & MSD 6000 Models or the MSP 7000 model?

Does the 3.5" drive only come in the MSP 700 model?

There does not seem to be any difference in performance between the 'old' and 'new' models.

All work well.

You are wasting the performance of the computer by not using these!!

sata drive technology is years out of date, and has not increased real world random access performance for years.

I have been looking to replace our 146GB 15000rpm SCSI drive with these SSD's. But to get the same capacity i would need two 64GB versions, what is the recommended way or running these. Leave them as two separate drives/libraries or join them as a software raid for one volume. My gut feeling is the first as it won't cause you to loose the whole disk of one fails. What are peoples opinions?

Also are you going for the 3000 or 6000 series, i believe the 6000 is slightly faster. Is it worth the extra expense for the 20mb/s?

Cheers

Suggest buying big normal SATA drive - keeping everything on that disc - transfer over content needed for immediate show.
you can playback from sata and mtron at the same time

no difference i ever saw between 6000 and 7000 series. i dont think its worth the difference in pricing right now.

no need to raid anything - leave them separate - no difference- unless you are planning on uncompressed HD...
