16GB - to a flash drive in 53 seconds?!?!
25GB - to a Blu-Ray in 70 seconds?!?! ?
And how the FFK does USB even connect to YouTube at all?
Symwave - Please GTFO the internet if you're not even going to BOTHER...
Even if these are READ values, they seem vastly implausible.
And for OCZ : Lying and/or Fraud are poor ways to promote a product. There are ppl on this earth who may consider intentionally including BS information on a press release to constitute both, and the NON-BS'ness of that chart is questionable at best.
That's just the way I see it...
there putting the size into context for all those who dont know how big 1gb really is.
70 seconds to transfer 25gb, the size of a blu ray disk... not how long it would take to read 25gb from a blu ray disk.
and as for the speed if thats what your getting at.
260mbps read speed is the average maximum speed for most upper end SSDs
And a 16Gig flash drive that does 301Meg / Second?
And a Blu-Ray drive that does 357Meg / Second?
its putting the size into context......
a standard bluray disk is 25GB..... it takes 70 seconds to move 25 GB of data.
it does not say it can read a bluray disk at 357mbps it says it can move 25 GB of data in 70 seconds !
its describing to people how fast it is at moving 1GB compared to another device.
a bluray disk can transfer at 25mbps. ( not a real correct value just a guess/estimate)
this SSD can transfer at 260mbps.
now do you see what there getting at?
my raid 0 max's out at 240.... nother couple months and i will be upgrading to a few SSD's in raid.
just waiting for prices to drop a bit more.
It shows 6GB takes 20 sec and 25GB 70 sec WTF?
Also what is the point of showing USB 3.0 max speed of around 400MB/s while this drive can only do roughly 200MB/s
You've got to love PR guys :)
