Embargo lift was 9AM Pacific today for all but the C3338 which was previously released.

I have one of the Thermaltake USB 3.0 3.5" and 2.5" docks that supports UASP. It actually does help quite a bit. To the point where if this was plug and play I think eSATA would become significantly less useful.
Actually, hard drives do OK with sequential read performance. With that being said, if you can go SSD (or two) that is going to be best for this workload. A best of breed option is sticking the 7,200rpm drives (or a 15K rpm setup) as your big storage tier then using SSDs to serve the most...
The hard drive market just went to a Coke & Pepsi model, except making a store brand competitor with a few million is much easier than making a new hard drive brand at several hundred million. Plus, if I went and made a hard drive company tomorrow, would you buy a drive from me? Guessing you...
Been using multiple sets of RAID 0 SSDs from 2-8 drives for quite awhile now. Personally, one drive will give you the most perceivable benefit. RAID 0 helps when you can get 128GB drives inexpensively and want a larger volume. The bad thing is that in the last three years I have lost RAID 0...
You should think about the cheapest <$100 motherboard + a cheap Sandy Bridge w/ Quick Sync if that is the encoding you are doing. You can run a hard drive, mobo, cpu, and optical drive with a PicoPSU and have a single fan cool the entire thing.
For the lower-end UP servers, ECC support (including registered memory support) is one of the biggest differences. Also the Xeon E3-1230, for example is an 80w TDP part with no active integrated GPU.
Lots of cores is still AMD's forte, especially at low power consumption/ per core.
I will...
Hey all,
Benchmarked the Intel Xeon E3-1280 which is a 95w TDP part running at 3.5GHz base with no active integrated GPU.
See Sandy Bridge Xeon E3-1280 benchmarks.
Again, not a gaming CPU since the i7-2600K is half the price and has an unlocked multiplier, but the Xeon E3 series...
Talked to a finance guy for one of the major NAND manufacturers. He said new process is seeing about a 30% reduction in cost given current yields. That doesn't include things like the PCB, housing, and controller so asking for a 50% reduction in price is probably unwarranted.
Instead of a Revodrive X2, you could just buy a LSI SAS2008 based card, run RAID 0 and buy 4 individual 64GB drives and get more performance for less money... if you really wanted.
