Would some thing like this work better that a SATA

It has a big conch
The pciE has a larger pipe if I am not wrong
I have a new Iceberg W/cooling system I never installed
And or a pirzo system for working at -0 F
P.S.
this looks cool to a Hybrid

I've not heard good things about those PCIe SSD's yet.Originally Posted by LAURENU2
OK try these

Now I'm starting to want one haha
That last review is from 2010. I didn't notice until I saw it up against an OCZ Vertex II and was curious why they didn't compare to the Vertex III instead which has similar performance at ~ 550Mb/s though is a lot cheaper.
Well with a run of 343 years between failures seems like a bargan
Hey Bok, I posted a message in your profile page regarding a possible solution to the Free-DC site man.
Is the Vertex 3 the one that is not responding? There was a known problem with "panic lock" with the Vertex 2 drives (Sandforce controller), and it may have carried over to some extent to the Vertex 3.

I have a Vertex 2 that has never locked up in operation, but if I change video cards on the motherboard, the drive is not recognized on the next reboot and I have to go into the BIOS to find it again. So they are definitely temperamental, but work well on the the right motherboard.
Actually no, it was one of the older ones and I don't think it was a problem with the SSD itself given it comes back up just fine. Convinced it's the SATA controller. I spent some time trying to get a VGA cooler on it today but didn't have much luck. See below for further outcome.
I appreciate the offer, but this is the database server. It's the main reason I gave up on a hosted dedicated server many years ago. It *NEEDS* to be a dedicated server. Whilst raw speed doesn't matter that much it certainly helps so a decent core i7 is a must (current one is a core i7-920). Memory is also a necessity to keep the database running well. Current server has 12Gb (which was the max available at the time I built it). It does not run the webpages at all, those are on a separate server. It does all the downloads of stats files, parsing of the xml, mysql updates, ranking etc etc in a schema running on a dedicated SSD. It then replicates all of this into a separate schema running on a different SSD. And it does this a lot.
As an update for all. I tore apart my windows machine today and replaced the components of the database server with it. Was kind of hoping the OS (CentOS 6.2) would come back up without too much effort but alas it did not and I had to re-install it. Same went for the transplant back to my windows server but then I was expecting that one...
I'm typing on the windows box right now, so that went fairly smooth.
The database server is now running a Core i7-2600K with 16Gb Ram (and it will handle 32Gb). And it's running the SSD's on SATAIII fully now which is good. I have most of the packages I need installed, just a few more to go. So tomorrow if all goes well, I'll be pointing the site back here once more and fingers crossed it all works well. I have no spares of anything now which is a little disconcerting as it's the first time in yearsBut I'll deal with that in the coming weeks. I've had about $100 in donations on the last week or so, that will go towards another spare SSD and then the 8Gb Ram chips I think. I did pick up a 1Tb external drive which I have hooked up for secondary backups, maybe get one more of those.
Talking of donations, how can I donate?
