Samsung's 24 SSDs in RAID: really fast configuration

An interesting video appeared in the network, which shows a system with 24 solid-state disks combined into a RAID array. The system used Samsung MLC SSDs with a capacity of 256GB. To say that the work of the received computer is impressive means to say nothing.



The system uses two Quad Core QX9775 quad-core processors , two video cards on HD 4870 X2 chips in a Crossfire configuration, 4 GB of RAM with a frequency of 800 MHz, two 1000 W power supplies and 24 SSD disks with a total capacity of 6 TB.

After a small setup, the system was able to transfer data at a speed of 2GB per second without problems. Opening a heap of office programs takes about 0.5s, and the simultaneous opening of all 53 programs from the start menu took 18.9s. Defragmentation takes less time than the average user needs to search for a specific file, and 700 files with a total capacity of 5.6GB are deleted in a fraction of a second. The speed of this system is amazing. To transfer the contents of one DVD from one place to another, it took about 0.8 s, about the same as the user needs for the corresponding mouse movement. Based on this video, it is safe to say that the end of the era of classic hard drives is not far off.
