[Saldir]

If some of you are bored and like SSD tech and are new to it,may find some of this interesting.About SSSI

The SNIA Solid State Storage Initiative (SSSI) was formed to foster the growth and success of the market for solid state storage in both enterprise and client environments. It consists of various subcommittees that are focused on:

    Providing authoritative information on solid state storage
    Educating the vendor and user communities about solid state storage
    Performing market outreach that accurately highlights the advantages of solid state storage
    Guiding and pursuing standards for solid state storage
    Collaborating with other industry associations related to the success of solid state storage

Every SDD/Controller Vendor is a member.Here are the whitepapers and webcasts...the webcasts i found interesting personally as I,m not an SSD guru(though i know more about OCZ Sandforce drives and how to get them working more than any human should have to on varying chip-sets).I did find the whitepapers on how they test for Enterprise and Consumer interesting as well.

http://www.snia.org/forums/sssi/knowledge/education You will have to register for the webcasts,which i didn't find a big deal.Change your info/use a spam address if you find that more to your liking.

This webcast in particular people new to SSD's may find interesting......http://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/23848

Here is also a link to how tough SSD's truly are,its pretty damn impressive how much data has been written in the tests,my apologies if this thread has been linked elsewhere..... http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?271063-SSD-Write-Endurance-25nm-Vs-34nm

One can find out a lot about SSSI, a project of SNIA.ORG, a 501(C)6 organization without registering. Of course, they are always working to recruit new members and donors.
