Long-term performance analysis of Intel Mainstream SSDs

Interesting article that analise SSDs performance through time under heavy load...

Guess what, it seems that fragmentation is a problem, but conventional defrag tools will not help...

...and I was almost ready to buy a SSD some time ago... Let´s see how this problem (and any other future ones) will get resolved.

fyi, a link to the article was also posted here yesterday. But I agree that it deserves more exposure here as well.

And I was wondering where I had seen this before...

Intel replies to solid-state drive 'slowness' critique

Interesting.

However, I would expect Intel to give more details of their findings and reasoning. The original reviewer, so far as I know, had released enough details for Intel to refute point by point. A press release isn't suffice (given the higher price commanded by those Intel SSD).

The comments by "zyxxz" are IMO very informative, e.g.

I knew there would be more problems with SSD's than was readily apparent. I hope they solve the issue with NAND and NOR states so it can be properly erased. Maybe a grid or something.

Exactly my thoughts as well.
