Some bullshit by: Anonymous on 10/24/2009
Here's a link that shows you that in many cases actually Mac edition is FASTER, not slower
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/storage/display/ocz-ssd-roundup.html

And here's link that shows you that OS X is able to handle at least 800MB/S transfer rates

I/O Bound by: Anonymous on 10/4/2009
Regardless of the accuracy regarding why the 2 storage devices have different specification (and I doubt it's accuracy because of journaling comment and the lack of how any testing was done) this is pretty much irrelevant unless you are I/O bound by disk accesses. I might also mention that no matter how fast a drive is, the O/S will throttle the I/O on the drive to what ever speed it wants. Remember that drives of all types from all the different manufacturers (and even the same manufacturers) can have vastly different specs and yet all will work in your system -- Apple, Windows, Linux, or whatever.

Thank you, Kelemvor. You took the words right out of my mouth. Desktop computing is about simplicity and fewer options for the user, not upgrade-ability, performance, or platform freedom.

do you honestly think anyone would really notice 10Mb/s slower?

NTFS also does journalising, I'm not sure where the information that it doesn't came from...

I don't get it. Why does the 32Gb have to be limited at 220Mb/s when they certify a 120Gb that can go 230Mb/s ?

Performance question by: Michael A. McKenney on 4/21/2009
How would these drives work on a LSI Logic MegaRAID 8708EM2 controller.

I am currently using Seagate Savvio 2.5" 146GB SAS drives. The benchmark below is RAID 1. One drive on each connection of the 8708EM2.

It's about time Apple took a stand against high performance computing on the desktop. This is a scourge that has infected the pc industry, and I applaud them for standing up and putting a stop to it.
