that's correct it just them instead of SATA or SAS disks in ceph ;-) so 960GB makes sense.

Hum the Crucial m500 is pretty slow. The biggest one doesn’t even

Intel DC S3700 100G showed around 200MB/sec for us.

where did you get this values from? I've some 960GB and they all have >
450Mb/s write speed. Also in tests like here you see > 450MB/s
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/crucial-m500-1tb-ssd,3551-5.html

Looks like at least according to Anand's chart, you'll get full write
speed once you buy the 480GB model, but not for the 120 or 240GB models:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6884/crucial-micron-m500-review-960gb-480gb-240gb-120gb

that's correct but the sentence was " The biggest one doesn’t even
reach 300MB/s."



Actually, I don’t know the price difference between the crucial and
the intel but the intel looks more suitable for me. Especially after
Mark’s comment.

Seems that not all power protected SSDs are created equal:
http://lkcl.net/reports/ssd_analysis.html

The m500 is not tested but the m4 is.

Up to now it seems that only Intel seems to have done his homework.
In general they *seem* to be the most reliable SSD provider.

Even at that, there has been some concern on the list (and lkml) that
certain older Intel drives without super-capacitors are ignoring
ATA_CMD_FLUSH, making them very fast (which I like!) but potentially
dangerous (boo!).  The 520 in particular is a drive I've used for a
lot of Ceph performance testing but I'm afraid that if it's not
properly handling CMD FLUSH requests, it may not be indicative of the
performance folks would see on other drives that do.

On the third hand, if drives with supercaps like the Intel DC S3700
can safely ignore CMD_FLUSH and maintain high performance (even when
there are a lot of O_DSYNC calls, ala the journal), that potentially
makes them even more attractive (and that drive already has
relatively high sequential write performance and high write endurance).
