HDD and SSD value perspective compared

Posted on Saturday, July 10 2010 @ 8:00 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
The Tech Report has taken a close look at the value offered by today's solid state disks, you can read it over here.
If you've been keeping up with TR over the last few months, you'll know that I've been hunkered down in the Benchmarking Sweatshop testing a torrent of solid-state drives on our brand-new pair of storage test rigs. The Twins have churned through a dozen SSD configurations in the last little while, neatly bringing us up to date with the latest drives, controllers, and firmware from all the usual suspects.

The SSD market doesn't stagnate, so we're going to make use of this data set while it's still fresh, bringing our value perspective into the storage realm for the very first time. Join us as we pore over pages of scatter plots to determine which solid-state drives have the most convincing value proposition.
