Just so you know, this is a piece of Samsung marketing material. It also happens to be pretty damn amazing and may make you judge your own computer unfit. A bunch of Samsung geeks strung 24 256GB SSD drives together in a RAID with the hopes of making the fast SSD drives even faster.
The system reaches transfer speeds of 2GBps. Here’s what that means in simple terms. All of Microsoft Office opens in .5 seconds, 53 programs from the test rig’s Start menu open in 18 seconds and the entire system defrags in about 3 seconds. In comic book terms, this is like if the Flash did a line of coke, drank a case of jolt cola, snorted pure sugar and for some reason his butt is was on fire. Yeah, its that fast!
It’s impressive sure, but who could afford to build it? How does this speak to the average computer user? In other words, it’s great and super fast and all, but what’s their point?
Why are you trying to take away from a video that inspires people by showing what a computer could be when SSDs become affordable? These kinds of hobbyist projects are what make PCs great!
