adata xpg V2 memory kits are optimized for the latest Intel gaming platforms

00:00:10,599 --> 00:00:16,440
check the link in the video description for more details now we all know ssds

3
00:00:14,519 --> 00:00:21,519
are pretty much the ultimate in terms of performance on a desktop system for your

4
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:26,160
storage but what many of you probably actually do know is that you can run

5
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:31,279
multiple ssds together in raid zero kind of like SLI for ssds to get even better

6
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:37,760
performance out of of them particularly in sequential read and write operations

7
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:39,960
now it doesn't much like SLI it doesn't

8
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:44,800
necessarily scale perfectly it's like if you run 16 ssds in a system will it

9
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:51,360
perform 16 times better the answer is no but without getting into expensive fancy

10
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:57,079
Hardware raid cards or other Exotic Solutions we wanted to find out where

11
00:00:53,559 --> 00:01:00,239
exactly is the limit in scaling for ssds

12
00:00:57,079 --> 00:01:02,960
running on a regular Intel Desktop PC we

13
00:01:00,239 --> 00:01:07,680
this platform because it has six SATA 36 GB per second ports running off of the

14
00:01:04,839 --> 00:01:12,799
Intel chipset the last generation z77 only had two so it was really hard to do

15
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:16,560
this kind of an investigative thing so we decided to run four different

16
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:21,520
configurations by the way big thanks to adata for providing these sx900 sand

17
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:27,079
Force based ssds for our test we ran single drive two drive three drive and

18
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:30,159
four Drive I lost the last box I have no idea where it is so don't worry trust me

19
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:35,280
we definitely ran four Drive drives they're all there um and we wanted to

20
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:39,680
see where the differences in performance really start well disappearing so to

21
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:43,759
speak so we ran three different benchmarks we ran PC Mark Vantage so we

22
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:48,880
ran the storage subsystem test and what you'll see here is that it becomes quite

23
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:53,119
clear very quickly that just because you double the theoretical performance of

24
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:56,439
one aspect of your system doesn't mean that you're necessarily going to double

25
00:01:54,600 --> 00:02:01,759
the real world performance because PC Mark is more of a real world oriented

26
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:05,799
test we also Alo see that that small performance difference even continues to

27
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:09,920
diminish as we add more and more drives giving us that sort of well aderes to

28
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:13,480
the law of diminishing returns just like you'd see with adding more channels to

29
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:17,760
memory operation or adding more graphics cards to an SLI or Crossfire config now

30
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:21,519
when we move on to a synthetic test we ran both reads and right speeds using

31
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:25,720
the black magic disc speed test which we found to be quite repeatable and quite

32
00:02:23,519 --> 00:02:30,720
realistic in terms of theoretical maximums you'll see that once again we

33
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:35,519
see a very clear doubling of performance going from a single drive to a two Drive

34
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:40,280
configuration but once we get into these multi-drive configs three drives still

35
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:45,519
scales extremely well but adding a fourth drive really doesn't do a whole

36
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:47,680
lot for even theoretical performance so

37
00:02:45,519 --> 00:02:54,000
while you'll still get extra capacity when you run four 256 gig ssds in raate

38
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:58,560
zero you get effectively 1 terab of capacity you won't necessarily continue

39
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:04,120
to get a speed Improvement and you should also be aware that every time you

40
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:06,280
add another SSD you are adding to the

41
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:12,120
points of failure that exist in your system and increasing the risk that just

42
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:14,000
by a single Drive failing you will lose

43
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:18,920
all of your data if you aren't doing very regular backups so thank you for
