CSCS Evaluation of RamSan-70 SSD Device – Highest IOPS Ever Measured

Posted on September 24, 2011 by mdl in CSCS, Technology

CSCS evaluated two PCIe attached SSD devices manufactured by Texas Memory Systems in terms of I/O bandwidth and IOPs. One of them is the recently launched “RamSan-70 Gorilla” card designed by Texas Memory Systems. This new card delivered the highest IOPS value ever measured at CSCS. In June 2011 CSCS already presented performance numbers for [...]

CSCS Analyzed the Performance of PCIe Attached SSD Devices

Posted on July 12, 2011 by mdl in CSCS, Technology

CSCS evaluated two different PCIe attached SSD devices with various methods for analyzing bandwidth and IOPs. The performance over SATA drives is huge as expected, by a factor of 20 in bandwidth and a factor of 1500 for IOPs. The results indicate, that SSDs are a valid alternative for SATA or SAS drives in terms [...]
