Ritek’s NSSD-X25-128-C07M-PN ha sup to 10X performance boost over hard drive
Company:Ritek NSSD-X25-128-C07M-PN
Product:
The Ritek NSSD-X25-128-C07M-PN drive we received is a standard consumer-grade MLC-based SSD, a 3Gbps 2.5-inch SATA drive. While its performance seems relatively low, this is a single drive, and shouldn’t be compared with anything other than the single SATA HD in the baseline server. Compared to that, it offers two to 10 times the performance of a hard drive, with much lower power consumption as well, and at a price that not much more than a single 15k SAS 146GB hard drive.
While performance suffered dramatically during extended write tests, read performance remained great. Installation is no more difficult than any other drive, with no drivers or other software required, and boot times can be reduced dramatically with this type of drive.
While the Ritek we tested is an MLC-based drive, SLC-based drives are also available, which should offer enhanced performance, especially on write speeds.
