Intel X25-E Extreme SATA SSD makes a new speed record
Intel X25-E SSD has set a new 2.23Gbps speed record. According to Slashgear, Tom’s Hardware has developed this new rival of the Samsung 24 SSD RAID. They used sixteen Intel X25-E SSD and two Adaptec 5805 PCI Express cards.
This experiment enabled them to surpass the speed limit of 2.12Gbps set by the Samsung SSDs. When coupled with the Adaptec cards, the drives delivered a throughput of 2.23Gbps. These drives also use two hardware RAID-0 arrays that are linked using Windows’ RAID functionality.
The people at Tom’s Hardware decided against running all the drives from a single Adaptec card, as they feared running into the PCI Express bandwidth limitations. The highlight of this test was that they used a standard test rig.
