Sequential Read/Write Speed

Using the 6-22-2008 build of Iometer I ran a 3 minute long 2MB sequential test over the entire span of the drive. The results reported are in average MB/s over the entire test length:

 

I'll go ahead and ruin the surprise right now - in the synthetic tests, you can't tell the difference between the Vertex LE and Corsair's Force drive. The two are identical performers. And it's not a bad thing, because they're both among the best.

    Thanks for the tip, I'll try it.

    Yes the idea of using the print to read the whole article at once is quite nice. I will be doing this from now on.

    It's also very nice for bathroom breaks. Some men read the paper. I read AT!

    That's what I do.

    You can also to this in Chrome and Opera, too.

    Remember that the Print view doesn't have banner ads. That's the major source of revenue for this site, so I doubt Anand is going to make the Print view more attractive for on-screen reading.

    ... then insert a few adverts between pages, I personally don't mind. AT can feed me Ads and Tech, anytime!

    Hate to break it to you but not everything in life can be bent to your pleasing.

    Before redesign, print layout used to have margins, so it's not really "bending to my pleasing", I'm not asking for something new.

    BTW, what's the point of your comment?

    File > Print Preview > Page Setup > Margins & Header/Footer

    Set the values you're comfortable width and print.

    No need to mess with the site for such things.

    The site makes money based on either ad views or ad clicks. Clearly, they'll get less of both if everyone reads the text on a single page that has no ads.

    I was going to suggest page zipper (FF plugin), but it doesn't work with this site, and even if it did, since they have feed back directly below each page, you'd have to get through every singe post to get to scroll to the next page (rinse/repeat for each page of text).

    I think it'd be smarter for Anand to put the feed back after the last page and setup pages to work with page zipper.....we get a single page with all the text, but we also see all of the adds.

    With that said, I don't really mind the current set.
