WEBVTT 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:06.600 so today I actually have something pretty interesting to show you guys I 00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:13.120 recently did my unboxing of the Intel SSD 510 series a code name Elm Crest SSD 00:00:11.559 --> 00:00:17.400 and I've actually got some results for you guys so this video is going to focus 00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:22.160 on crystal dismark which is a pretty wellestablished uh dis benchmarking tool 00:00:20.439 --> 00:00:26.039 these days and I've benchmarked a variety of different configurations for 00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:30.039 the purpose of finding out a couple of things this is a synthetic Benchmark 00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:34.719 okay so bear in mind that the result to not necessarily always comparable from 00:00:32.040 --> 00:00:38.960 one drive to another and it's not always necessarily an indication of real world 00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:45.120 performance but I wanted to find out in a synthetic Benchmark how a single 510 00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:53.559 series SSD compares to two 510 series ssds as well as how using the 00:00:49.480 --> 00:00:56.239 onboard SATA 3 6 gbit per second Port 00:00:53.559 --> 00:00:59.640 versus using the onboard SATA 2 3 gbit per second ports affect the performance 00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:04.519 of this drive so I'm going to walk you guys through this one by one here we 00:01:01.480 --> 00:01:06.720 have a single drive with uh SATA 3 6 00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:13.119 gbit per second you can see here that the right speeds are largely unaffected 00:01:09.119 --> 00:01:15.360 by the uh The Wider uh data bus however 00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:20.159 the read speeds especially these sequential results are well mostly the 00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:24.759 sequential results are significantly higher if you give it a pipe that's 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:30.280 twice as wide to move the data through so that's uh that's how the performance 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:31.759 compared as far as single Drive goes 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:36.280 okay so then we've got our dual Drive configuration so here I've configured it 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:42.079 in raid Zero running off the integrated SATA 3 6 GB per second controller on my 00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:43.479 p67 motherboard you can see right here 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:47.240 that the sequential read scale incredibly well this is the best results 00:01:45.880 --> 00:01:53.280 I've seen out of a two Drive configuration for straight reads ever 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:56.119 we're up near a 1 gbyte per second read 00:01:53.280 --> 00:02:01.159 speed sequential and we're over 400 megab per second right speed so it's 00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:05.320 phenomenal ever you can see here that once again WR speeds are largely 00:02:03.119 --> 00:02:09.640 unaffected by the larger datab bus and it's mostly the read speeds especially 00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:13.360 once again sequential that are going to benefit from that larger datab bus the 00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:20.280 reason for that is that when you're writing reading and writing more complicated data it becomes more 00:02:16.920 --> 00:02:23.560 controller bound and less Bound by the 00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:25.640 actual uh by the actual interface itself 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:31.519 so just as points of comparison I have included results with these dual 510 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:36.519 series ssds running off an LSI 9268 I RAID controller card these are 00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:40.879 the best results that I was able to obtain with the raid card over here so 00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:44.000 you can see that there are slight differences actually here I'm going to 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:48.440 move this window over so you can compare them a little bit more easily between 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:54.400 the onboard raid and the raid cards particularly uh in the 512k sequential 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:59.200 results right here uh everything else is pretty close although we did manage to 00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:02.879 get better 4K reads but actually slower 4K r rights now that was with a fair 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:07.239 amount of tinkering around with the settings but I'm sure as the firmware 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:10.680 gets updated on these on the high-end RAID controller cards and as the 00:03:08.760 --> 00:03:14.560 community Tinkers around with them and finds out how to get the most 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:17.920 performance out of a 510 series SSD we're probably going to see better 00:03:15.720 --> 00:03:23.360 results I've also included the results from a Revo Drive X2 240 gig so that's 00:03:21.239 --> 00:03:28.120 what I've actually got on the test bench down here right now and you can see that 00:03:25.799 --> 00:03:32.200 sequentially bearing in mind we're using random data with Crystal mark this time 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:36.519 around so sandforce is at a bit of a disadvantage here but you can see that 00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:43.480 sequentially it is not as strong of a performer as two 120 gig SSD 510 series 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:47.239 drives however when you look at the high 00:03:43.480 --> 00:03:51.319 load random reads and wrs it absolutely 00:03:47.239 --> 00:03:53.360 destroys the Dual 510 series SSD setup 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:58.159 so it's all about what kind of workloads you're going to be using and thank you
