>tfw he fell for the SSD meme
How do SSD owners handle the fact that $5 SD cards made in China are faster than their meme storage? Try and defend this SSD fags.

because i can't plug a fucking sd card into my sata port?

Even if this was true, using an SD card for any long term re-writable storage is just a terrible idea.

Just get an SD card slot, then.

Classic 'I didn't even bother reading the links I've posted'
At the end of the second article they configure the SSD to be faster. The first article is just a clickbait article deriving from the second article anyway.
They were using an ultra-reliable file system used in ATMs and shit. I'm sure your standard file system wouldn't do the same kind of operations that bog down performance.

>"When Reliance Nitro does a transaction point, a command is issued through the operating system API to force any data that still resides in any caches (both OS, and hardware, if present) to be flushed to the media, and in this testing, this procedure is noticeably slower on SSD drives than it is on SD drives (since SD has no internal cache)"
Wait, so if they just disabled Write-caching on the SSD it wouldn't have to do this flushing procedure anyway?

They're talking about banking machines

what the articals are claiming is that its faster to get to writing,
i/o, read, write, size, cost, longevity, all belong to ssd over sd
potentially an sd will start writing a file faster, but a ssd will find it, read it and finish writing it faster.
So basically
The SSD took longer because it had to flush all the data from its cache to the drive in order for a safe transaction. However in a normal situation this cache is just going to make shit faster.
This doesn't even suggest that SD's are faster one bit. It just suggests that in the case of banking, the cache works against the SSD rather than with it.

And this only applies to this very specific configuration. They were running Windows CE which doesn't support any of the SSD storage optimizations like TRIM which leads to performance issues.
