Hi I think the subject about covers it. I recently bought a Intel SSD (X25-E). With my current machine (Core2Duo E6850, 3.2 GHz) i get about 130MB/s of the possible 230MB/s when i compare a linear dd of the loop-device vs. raw block-device. The real appeal of a new Nehalem-type CPU (like a Core i7-860) would be the possibility that AES-NI delivers Full-Encryption with very small to neglible performance impact on the SSD. Bis denn -- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous. - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
