SSD and SATA

[bjlockie]

Consumer SSD speeds are around 500MB/s and SATA3 is 6Gb/s (750MB/s).
Is that roughly correct?

 

[postmortemIA]

nope, theoretical bandwidth is different than the real use, for many reason.Good SSDs are already moving to PCIe... and Apple did it back in 2013 and had their SSDs with speeds over 750MB/s back then.

Is the question behind your question really if a SSD can saturate a single SATA3 link? Eh, not quite yet but we are getting damn close.

But yes, your statement is correct.

Pretty much this I'd think.

Still use an older X58 MOBO with a X5680 that is SATA 2, but with a little Marvel PCIe SATA3 add-in RAID card can get around 700 read/650 write using a couple little non-Pro Sammy 840 EVO SSD's in RAID0 for the OS.

About as fast as this old board will ever get I imagine.
