![]() ![]() (MLC and SLC are two types of chips used in solid state drives, with SLC being a server-oriented technology). It is unclear whether SLC-based drives have the same issues. Please note that the write-speed issue likely affects every brand of MLC-based solid state drive, and might be even more of a problem with some brands. ![]() ![]() This behavior was induced by intense usage of the SSD for software development, an inappropriate use for an SSD, because over time it involves the creation and deletion of untold millions of small files Six months of experience with the Intel X25-M solid state drive (SSD) on the Mac Pro revealed the severe degradation of write speed to roughly 1/4 of the original speed, with unpredictable pauses. However, the degraded write speed can be fully restored. Update: the new (Feb 2010) OWC Mercury Extreme SSD does not appear to suffer from the internal fragmentation issues common with other SSDs.įrequent write activity on a solid state drive (SSD) can severely degrade its write speed, and the effect is cumulative with ongoing use.
