This file system is optimised for Flash based storage, so it will order the way the data is stored differently so these random writes are avoided as much as possible.

I have to congratulate on Engadget's accuracy on the previous quote. I mean, it's not like any other company makes technological advancements in order to gain higher earnings. I bet most of them are just doing these things as one of those "weekend things".]]>Nov 5th 2008 10:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/

In any case, bring these in at say, $300 for a 128er and I'm sold.


Also, I should prolly stop acting like a lulzy nub, cuz...oh wait...I sorta am one anyway. =[]]>Nov 5th 2008 10:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 5th 2008 11:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 5th 2008 10:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 6th 2008 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 5th 2008 10:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 5th 2008 10:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/

if you wanted a REALLY fast/expensive SSD, you could give every memory cell its own input and output so you could read or write every cell at once! Not likely to happen, but that would be impossible with HDDs.]]>Nov 6th 2008 2:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 5th 2008 10:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 5th 2008 10:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 5th 2008 10:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 5th 2008 10:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 5th 2008 11:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 5th 2008 11:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 6th 2008 12:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 7th 2008 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 6th 2008 6:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 5th 2008 11:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 5th 2008 11:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 5th 2008 11:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 6th 2008 12:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 5th 2008 11:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 5th 2008 11:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 5th 2008 11:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 5th 2008 11:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/

If this is widely adopted then the technology isn't going to be EXTREME anymore... it will sound dated.
2) I'll believe the increase in speed when I see it. Intel's X25 is already extremely fast... 100x faster? I don't believe I'll see that in the next five years.]]>Nov 6th 2008 12:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 6th 2008 12:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/
Secondly, I do not want my main data storage to be "extreme" the same way I don't want my bank manager to be extreme. I need m data safe first.

Anyone else wonder why the physical layout of data on the disk, or in the case of SSD, in memory, is the business of the file system? It seems like there should be a low level intelligence on the drive which lays out data, and the file system deals with the logical structure only. Or is "ExtremeFFS" just a driver on top of which one can put any other file system?]]>Nov 6th 2008 12:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 6th 2008 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 6th 2008 4:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/Nov 13th 2008 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/sandisk-announces-extremeffs-for-100-times-faster-ssd-write-sp/
