Re: [CentOS] new ssd to play with

From: Jerry Geis geisj@pagestation.com

I grabbed a new SSD  M4-CT064M4SSD2 from Crucial. I am disappointed.  I stuck the unit in an Atom machine (zotac) with CentOS 6 on the disk. It really doesn't "feel" faster than the previous 5400 RPM drive that was in it. The SSD is giving me (in the zotac running centos 6): hdparm -t /dev/sda /dev/sda:   Timing buffered disk reads:  298 MB in  3.00 seconds =  99.30 MB/sec

Intel 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset 6 port SATA AHCI Controller 64GB Crucial 2.5" RealSSD C300 rev 7 (udma5)

# hdparm -t /dev/sda  Timing buffered disk reads:  636 MB in  3.01 seconds = 211.58 MB/sec # hdparm -T /dev/sda  Timing cached reads:   18016 MB in  2.00 seconds = 9023.48 MB/sec
