Crucial BX100 SSD Tests On Ubuntu Linux

[bddu]

Do you perhaps know which other ssd manufacturer will let me upgrade fw from Linux? Samsung? Cheers

OCZ had it for ages, both cli (clout) and gui (ssdguru).

That is simply not true. Benchmarks either use real-world (like) data or they have separate compressible and incompressible data tests.

Some benchmarks indeed use real-world like data, but those benchmarks are benchmarks which have their focus put on drive performance.
Benchmarks like FSMark (which are cited in bthe benchmark), which actually focus on filesystem performance (creating files & directories, deleteing them again, writing x streams in parallel) usually don't care about the data written.

Where do you see this? Looks like the drive simply does not support queued trim, which should be fine. It's not on the blacklist, in any case:

looks like I was a bit hasty in reading libata-core.c mx100 not bx100, oops
thanks
