Samsung SSD XP941 Review: The PCIe Era Is Here
by Kristian Vättö on May 15, 2014 12:00 PM ESTPerformance vs. Transfer Size
ATTO is a useful tool for quickly benchmarking performance across various transfer sizes. You can get the complete data set in Bench. The XP941 doesn't perform that well at the smaller transfer sizes but once we go over 8KB, there is no question about which drive is the fastest. At the IO size of 64KB, the XP941 is already reaching 1GB/s for read and it stays at ~1050MB/s for all the larger IOs. Write performance isn't as good but still reaches 1GB/s when the IO size is large enough.

They weren't trying to squelch his speech or impugn his rights, rather give him advice as to where he could take those opinions so they would be better appreciated. "Free speech" isn't some magical phrase that suddenly allows you to say whatever you want whenever and wherever you want. Valuing free speech doesn't mean you have to value dumb comments on websites, even this comment that I just made! :-PBabar Javied - Thursday, May 15, 2014 - link
This site needs a "thumbs up" or "like" button because I'd like to "like" your comment good sir.Sabresiberian - Thursday, May 15, 2014 - link
Hmm yeah it's a matter of etiquette, not "free speech". Those topics tend to derail discussions, turn them into heated arguments which add nothing to a discussion unless they are pertinent. It is bad internet manners to bring them up in any form when the topic has nothing to do with them.As far as not reading the post - well. that would make sense in an ongoing discussion, where it could easily be seen that the comments were not going to be interesting to the reader before he had read them. This kind of post though - it is impossible to know the poster will go too far for you until he has. :)

@critical: I would love to go on a long and well-thought-out diatribe on common misconceptions of the First Amendment in response to your comment, but the comment section of a tech blog is simply not the appropriate place for that and would continue to distract me, you, and everyone who reads the comment from our common interest in computer tech. I fail to understand how entreating someone to observe good manners so that all people can enjoy this fine tech blog is inflammatory.Travisryno - Thursday, October 18, 2018 - link
..has nothing to do with free speech-private citizens/private forum.This is about respect-specifically not bringing heated/emotional topics into a professional and/or h.obbyist's forum.
Hell I could say you are imposing on their right to tell people to leave that stuff at the door.. but i'd just be abusing it too

lol he totally didn't know that businesses have fixed costs and not just variable costs.vgray35@hotmail.com - Friday, May 16, 2014 - link
Well I do not concur. Both the PCIe and SATA interfaces are not new by any means. And as for the SSD technology, well that too is not new. The development costs are much lower that one would think. Pretty much a new PCB with layout testing. That's it. It's just old tech on a new PCB, since SSD on PCIe has also been around quite a while now too.Opportunistic behavior dictates price first and foremost, and I do not believe the device is peppered with Samsung blessed gold which could justify such an expensive PCB.

In general:Price = cost where they will sell the number of units that maximizes profits.
If they priced it lower, they'd be doing that out of greed, too.

"If they priced it lower, they'd be doing that out of greed, too."Brilliant!

This uses multiple controllers to reach that speed, so it is means more parts, not less.
