SSD Reliability

[Ualaa]

I'm using a Patriot Torq 64GB SSD.
Warcraft is the only thing on the drive.
Have had it for over a year now, under Vista 64-bit (no Trim command), and it hasn't slowed down at all.

Not mind-blowingly faster than my 150GB Raptor entering game, but still faster; once in the game, zoning from spells or boats is virtually instant instead of a 3-4 seconds.

About a year ago I purchased a 120 GB OCZ Vertex Sata II.

In October, the drive completely failed. I RMAed the device with OCZ, but that process took about a month to complete.

Since I wanted to get my system up and running again, I bought 2 Kingston 64GB SSD and put them in RAID0.

This configuration was even faster.

OCZ 120 GB

200 MB / s read and write

Dual Kingston 64 GB in RAID 0

443 MB / s read
367 MB / s writes

The Kingstons were cheaper too! They have worked flawlessly for the last 3 months.


Since then, I received my replacement drive from OCZ, which has worked fine so far.
