numberoneoppa - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkIt's too bad about the idle power consumption, but if the prices are decent, I might pick up a higher capacity variant to replace my 80GB m25 G2 in my desktop. Reply
ssj3gohan - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkI don't think Anandtech has implemented their improved (DIPM-enabled) power consumption tests yet, so the idle figures here are pretty much meaningless. When it comes to market, check the datasheet for actual idle power consumption. Reply
Kristian Vättö - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkSeagate's datasheet shows average idle power of 1.1W: http://images.anandtech.com/doci/6935/Screen%20Sho... Reply
lightsout565 - Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - linkDoes anyone know how power consumption compares to the 128GB Samsung 830? In Anand's review of the 830 he mentions, "Samsung sampled the 512GB version of the SSD 830 so it's unclear how much the sheer number of NAND die impacts power consumption here." During the test of the 513GB version, it showed 1.22W at idle. Reply
Kristian Vättö - Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - linkThe 128GB SSD 830 idles at 0.38W (I think the firmware is also newer, the 512GB had pre-production FW as far as I know). As always, you can find all our SSDs (and other components) in the Bench, here's the 128GB SSD 830:

cactusdog - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkI don't understand why Seagate and WD were so slow in the SSD market. They should have a complete range of SSDs by now. They could have just rebranded OEM drives (if they didn't want to spend money) and would have sold millions just from their name alone. Like Kingston and others did...... I don't get it. Reply
Sabresiberian - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkI wonder if the main HD manufacturers here were doing a bit of "American auto industry" thinking. Like "We sold all the gas guzzlers we could make before, how are we supposed to know the general population is going to want cars that get better gas mileage?" Chrysler and GM had to be bailed out twice for that kind of thinking.
So, were Seagate and Western Digital thinking "We're selling all the HDs we can make, why should we get into SSDs?" I don't know, but it's an explanation that seems to fit, to my way of thinking anyway. Reply
Powerlurker - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkI think it's more that Seagate and WD have extensive expertise in manufacturing HDDs that can't be replicated by competitors and lots of industrial infrastructure that only they (and Toshiba at this point) have. Meanwhile, on the SSD front, they would be competing with any idiot on the Pacific Rim with a reference design and a pick-and-place line. SSDs are rapidly becoming commodity products at the consumer level and long term profitability in the segment requires you to have your own special sauce (controller technology, firmware expertise, a NAND fab, or some other unique advantage) which WD and Seagate don't really have at this point. Reply
Kristian Vättö - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkWhile WD and Seagate lack the SSD expertise, they have the distribution channels and resources. Hynix is a good example of a company that has all the expertise they need to develop a competitive SSD but their distribution channel is lacking. Seagate, on the other hand, operates globally and can reach billions of potential buyers in a short period of time. Even if you have a good product, it's fairly meaningless if it can't reach most of the market. Hynix actually makes SSDs but they are doing absolutely nothing to market them and I bet they don't have many distributors in the US or other Western countries (NewEgg sells their SSDs but I haven't seen them elsewhere).
Seagate also has tons of capital to invest on the SSD market. Like in the case of this SSD, they didn't just go with stock SandForce but chose LAMD and invested on specializing the firmware. On top of that, I'm pretty sure Seagate has fairly big NAND deals with Toshiba and Samsung to ensure a steady supply of NAND, which requires capital. There have already been NAND shortages in the market and this year it will get even tougher - Seagate has an advantage because they can buy a ton of NAND whereas smaller players lack the capital for that (and the bigger client you are, the more important you are for the company so big clients are prioritized when there's a shortage).
What would be a killer combination in the future is Seagate and Hynix combining their powers. Reply
secretAgent! - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkWD is coming out soon with SSD PCIe cards soon.... i've helped test them.... shhhh.... Reply
StealthGhost - Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - linkTo me it was always just that HDDs are vastly different than SSDs. Making SSDs when you make HDDs is like starting from scratch almost. That is why the most random companies are making SSDs, because they made flash storage before. Corsair, OCZ, Crucial harddrives? I've owned RAM from all 3 but never a harddrive, but it makes sense for them to side step over from RAM to SSD, not so much for WD to go all the way down and then back up over to SSD.
I hope WD becomes a big name in SSDs though, I have 5 WD harddrives that I can think of off the top of my head and one is from 2003. As you can tell, they're my favorite HDD manufacturer. Reply
phillyry - Sunday, May 12, 2013 - linkCactusdog, "I don't understand why Seagate and WD were so slow in the SSD market."
Because they didn't want to destroy their reputations with a the shenanigans that was going on in the first couple gens of SSDs. They wisely waited until the tech was mature so that their multibillion dollar reputations wouldn't go down the drain. Reply
Tams80 - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkSame. I think around 500GB is the minimum I'd prepared to go with (for a laptop/mobile computer). They are still a bit too pricey and from my experience the hybrid drives, while good, aren't really worth it. 1TB would be great, but that will probably require waiting a few years.
The 840 Pro looks to still be the best, but yes, it's still far too expensive for me. =( Reply
klmccaughey - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkThe 240GB non Pro 840 is pretty good unless you are doing a lot of writing - very well priced.
I have a 2TB HD and a 256GB Steam drive. With Steam Tool / or caching software that is plenty. My C drive is 2 x 128GB Vertex 3's in Raid 0.
Don't wait to switch! Just get what you can and add more when you can - you will never look back :) Reply
MrSpadge - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkYeah.. just make smart use of the space you've got and you should be able to get by with much smaller SSDs than 500 GB. Personally using 64 GB to cache my 3 TB HDD - fast enough for me :) Reply
phillyry - Sunday, May 12, 2013 - linkThe OP is talking about a mobile computer (laptop), not a desktop solution where you can have additional hard drives. Reply
creed3020 - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkSeagate may be late to the game but wow what an entrance! Going with the LM87800 almost guaranteed a strong performer as we already know from the Corsair Neutron's history. Their own special sauce added to the firmware shows that they are taking this market seriously.
The HDD manufacturers, glorious duopoly and all, need to see the writing on the wall and get some products into this market vertical. There will be a need for spinning platters for years to come still as 4TB SSDs are still a good ways out.
I'm currently on the fence for a Samsung 840 500GB but this announcement I need to wait and see how the reliability on these drives pans out as this may be the better choice. Reply
Oxford Guy - Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - linkMLC drives are generally going to be more reliable than TLC drives, unless you're dealing with firmware bugs (like the horribly buggy 1st generation Sandforce controller in the Vertex 2e) Reply
name99 - Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - link"Seagate may be late to the game but wow what an entrance!"
To me this is in the interesting point. Presumably Seagate are interested in surviving for more than the next five years. Which means they have to be in the broadly defined storage business, not just the HD business. Which in turn means: raises the question --- presumably they want to be the equivalent in the flash business of their role in the HD business?
What would that take? If they were doing it seriously, it would take
(a) own the controller. It seems they already own the firmware. Perhaps they don't care much about the LAMD/Hynix link because the next step is to design their own controller?
(b) fab the flash. Until they do that, as has been said, they're just one of a dozen assemblers. Of course fabbing flash is not a completely trivial business to get into... So --- buy Hynix (or someone else)? Or not the whole company, but at least the flash division? I suspect we will see something like this.
If they DO own the firmware, the chip, and the flash, they are at least in a rather better position.
They can start to apply real engineering to these devices in a way we haven't yet seen, most obviously in much better power performance, both idle power and peak random writes power. There may also be scope for other innovations once you own the entire pipeline, for example you can tweak the flash being fabbed for a more precise set of specs, or you can drive it to tend to certain (known) failure modes which your firmware is set up to work around. Reply
JellyRoll - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkCorsair recently released new versions of the Neutrons with a die shrink, are these Neutrons compared in the article with the new NAND? Reply
Kristian Vättö - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkThe units we have are all based on the older 24nm NAND. A while back I asked Corsair for review samples of the 128/256GB Neutrons (the original ones are 120/240) but they said they are not sampling them (yet). I can ask if they have changed their mind, although there shouldn't be much difference since 19nm Toshiba NAND has the same page/block/die size as 24nm. Reply
FunBunny2 - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkDoes "Toshiba" mean toggle-mode NAND, by definition? Or do they sell all types? Reply
Kristian Vättö - Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - linkYes, Toshiba uses Toggle-Mode interface for their NAND. Here's the breakdown of NAND interfaces and manufacturers:
Toggle-Mode: Toshiba/SanDisk (joint-venture) & Samsung
ONFI: Intel/Micron (aka IMFT, also a joint-venture) & Hynix Reply
LtGoonRush - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkHardOCP showed pretty significant performance increases, though that could also be due to the new firmware (which is not being back-ported as I understand). Reply
romrunning - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkI really wish we had more tests of SSDs in RAID-5 arrays. This is really useful for SMBs who may not want/afford a SAN. I'm very curious to see if the 20% spare area affects SSDs just as much when they're RAIDed together as it does standalone. I also don't care of the SSDs are branded as being "enterprise" drives. It would be nice to see how a 5x256GB Samsung 840 Pro RAID-5 array would peform, or even a 5x400GB Seagate 600 Pro RAID-5 array. Reply
FunBunny2 - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkNo legitimate RDBMS vendor would allow its database on a RAID-5 machine. Never. Never. Never. Reply
romrunning - Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - linkI can't tell if you're just trolling or you're actually serious. Obviously, SMBs use RAID-5 arrays ALL the time, and they use "legitimate" database products like MS-SQL, etc. It doesn't have to be an IBM AIX server running DB2, or anything high-end. Reply
daniel_mayes - Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - linkWhat is FunBunny2 talking about? What Raid would you want to run them on 1,5,6,10, no ssd's?
You aren't the only one that want's to see more tests with SSD's in a Raid 5. I would also like to see the destroyer run on ssd's with a higher provision and please add Intel DC S3700 to the destroyer benchmark next. Reply
FunBunny2 - Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - link"I always have found that based on those requirements RAID 5 requires more spindles to satisfy those requirements than RAID 10 - and this has been found even with a Read/Write of 9:1. "
here: http://sqlblog.com/blogs/linchi_shea/archive/2007/...
(no, that's not me)
Fact is, SSD still writes slower than reads, so what kind of RAID one uses matters. Having a 3NF (or higher) schema is a more productive avenue for performance on SSD, anyways, irregardless. Getting rid of all that bloated [un|de]normalized byte pile will allow, in most cases, you to have a much smaller database, and thus not worry about bunches and bunches of discs. Reply
romrunning - Friday, May 10, 2013 - linkThat blog is from 2007, and SSDs weren't really in the picture at all. It has been demonstrated how SSDs can trump spinning disks in virtually all I/O-bound operations. The man in the blog even showed a test of RAID-5 beating RAID-10 on the same hardware, so his test was in direct contradiction to the one who later commented about spindles.
That being said, I think you're trying to say that getting rid of unnecessary in your database will result in a smaller database & thus lower performance requirements. That might be true at one point, but when you've normalized your data already, then additional data will just make the database grow. After all, if you're writing something like electronic orders to your normalized database, it will grow based upon real data addition. That's why you need to make sure your storage array can handle the increased load.
RAID-5 has been the best for SMBs because it provide the fault-tolerance and the higher utilization of total storage capacity that they want. That's why I would like to see tests of SSDs in RAID-5 arrays - to get Anandtech to test these great SSD performers in something I could use in a database server. Something like their tests of their own website databases would be nice, or even smaller ones using a 10-20GB database. Reply
JDG1980 - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkPersonally, I'd be reluctant to go with any brand except Intel and Samsung for SSDs. There have just been too many issues with the other vendors. Maybe Crucial's Marvell-based products, but absolutely not anything based on SandForce - they seem to have more reliability problems than all the other controllers put together. Reply
Kristian Vättö - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkWell, Intel's current consumer-grade SSDs are all based on SandForce. In the beginning SandForce definitely had a ton of issues but keep in mind that the SF-2281 is a two-year-old controller - a lot has happened in that time.
Then again, I agree that going with something non-SF is better choice because the pricing of SF SSDs isn't exceptionally good (e.g. Samsung SSD 840 is often the cheapest choice). I wouldn't rule out Plextor from the list of good candidates though. Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkAssuming no problems turn up in the next few months I'm probably going to buy a Crucial M500 - 1TB model. I've gone from a $280 120GB SSD to a $330 256GB one and filled both in about 18 months. Skipping the 500GB class entirely should let me go 3 or 4 years before running out of space while also giving enough flash capacity that I can pull my ~200GB of media onto my SSD. As an added bonus this will save ~$100 by allowing me to avoid a precautionary replacement the 5 year old HDD in my system. Overall it's an extra $150 upfront; but will avoid probably spending $300 in 2 years when I'd overflow the smaller SSD and having everything located on a single drive keeps things simpler to admin. Reply
Oxford Guy - Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - linkNot true. If you look at slickdeals you'll see SF drives for the same or less than the TLC 840 drives. Reply
Shark321 - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkThe Destroyer rocks! The first really meaningful SSD test for power users! Reply
hp79 - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkFor the Seagate 600, did they mistakenly swap the "idle power" usage (1.1W) with the "operating power" usage (0.75W) on the chart? Reply
melgross - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkThere's really no need for Seagate and WD to be first, or even early. Right now, HDD's are still the main storage component of the industry. Let them observe the mistakes made by others and come up with better products, as this one seems to be. They've got time. Reply
James5mith - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkI would still love to see either the older "Optimus" series or the latest 2TB SAS series of SSD's from Smart put through the Anandtech wringer to see how they compare. If it's true that the new 2TB SAS drives are going to be $4000, that's $2/GB for enterprise grade MLC SAS ssds. That's something to take notice of. Reply
rms - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - link'indirection tablets' this phrase makes no sense to me; a typo? If not, please add an explanatory ellipsis for it! Reply
MrSpadge - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkIt should be "tables", not "tablets". Reply
Jestre - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - link2 requests:
Can you incorporate the average power usage measured during the testing benchmarks, both "the Destroyer" and the 2011 benchmarks?
It would be nice to see the actual realistic measured power consumption averages for worst case tests like this. You could also list an average power with a reasonable downtime calculated based on a typical usage pattern and the actual time to complete.
Can you also list the time is take to complete these test for each drive,
Thanks for all you good work.
Jestre Reply
Kristian Vättö - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkAt least I don't have the hardware for measuring power consumption over time (all I have is a simple multimeter, unless it has features I'm not aware of). Anand might but I'm guessing not as I'm sure he would have taken advantage of it. The problem is that such hardware is not exactly cheap, so it's a rather big investment for only one test (I'd love to have one though). Reply
lotharamious - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkAnother wonderful SSD review, Anand. Well done!
Since I started reading your site over 11 years ago your reviews have been really outstanding and particularly so with SSDs.
I really love delving into the data presented, but you guys really need to get with the times on data plotting. Your charts can be somewhat confusing and downright frustrating to read.
When showing scatter plots please include an option for plotting more statistics of the dataset, e.g. trendline about the mean, standard deviation, etc. It's really difficult to see just how well the 800 is gaining performance towards the end of the test run without a noticable trendline for your eyes to follow along the graph.
In a chart, when displaying a line that corresponds to the unit that is currently being reviewed please draw that line ON TOP of the other references units' data lines. It's frustrating to try to compare the performance of different units when the one you really care about is blocked from view because the other 50 lines on the chart make a large enough noisy mess to not be able to tell right from left.
And just for fun, I really wish you guys used a javascript plotting library for your reviews. It would be awesome if you could click on different graphics cards in a graph to see the percentage performance gain you would get between the card you clicked on and all the other cards in the graph. I've seen this kind of stuff on other sites, and it would be amazing to have here.
Sorry for being so negative, because I still love reading this site every day. It's been incredible to see how you, the industry, and the drives themselves have morphed since 2008.
Here's to many more great reviews! Reply
mike55 - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkWhat causes the sharp drop in IOPS in the random write tests after so many minutes for SSDs? Is it because the drive has run out of empty blocks and is then doing read-modify-writes? Reply
mike55 - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkNever mind, just realized my question was answered in the article. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkI imagine Seagate will tap its longterm partner, Samsung, to help it out with SSD controllers once LAMD is gone. Who did Samsung sell its hard drive business to? Seagate.
Who did Seagate contract out for NAND from? Samsung.
Seagate'll go back to Samsung once it's time for a new controller that can handle SATAe. Reply
kyuu - Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - linkWhile this is a decent drive, another source revealed that Seagate is trying to pull warranty shenanigans, limiting the warranty to 3 years OR 72 TB of writes (36 TB for the smaller drives), whichever comes first. Putting a "mileage" limit on the warranty is a first in the SSD space as far as I'm aware, and not something that should be supported. Definite pass on Seagate's SSDs unless and until they change their warranty terms. Reply
Kristian Vättö - Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - linkIf you look at the warranty terms of other manufacturers, there is always a phrase that says warranty is invalidated if the SSD is operated outside of public specifications (and endurance is one one of them):
Intel: "any Product which has been modified or operated outside of Intel's publicly available
Crucial: "The above warranties cover only defects arising under normal use and do not include malfunctions or failures resulting from misuse, abuse, neglect, alteration, problems with electrical power, usage not in accordance with product instructions"
OCZ: "Improper use of product, Normal wear and tear"
Or at least that's how I interpret their warranties. In a nutshell, warranty only covers failures which are results of defects in materials or assembly - it's clear that endurance is limited and hence exceeding the specification means that a failure may not have been due to a defect. Reply
daniel_mayes - Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - linkI would like to see consumer vs enterprise in a SMB server. Under a certain price point for example at $1,300 and lower you can get 3 x Intel 710 Series 100GB ($1,200), 5 x Intel DC S3700 100GB ($1,250), 4 x Seagate 600 Pro ($1,300), 5 x OCZ Vector 256 GB ($1,225), 5 x Corsair Neutron GTX 240 GB ($1,100), 5 x Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB ($1,200). Size doesn't matter as much as low latency and highest consistent performance. Since the consumer drives have more space over provision them at 25% and %50. That way we can see if more consumer ssd's at a higher provision rate are faster in a SMB environment than the enterprise drives. Yes I know the consumer ssd's will probably die faster but I'm sure most SMB's would rather pay half the cost of an enterprise drive and chance having to replace it twice as often. Reply
Jestre - Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - linkKristian,
is $59.95 with free shipping in your budget?
See http://www.rc-electronics-usa.com/ammeters/dc-amp-...
Not a sweet and an Agilent EPM power meter but it should do the trick at 3% of the price.
Jestre . Reply
Kristian Vättö - Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - linkI need to speak with Anand but $60 definitely doesn't sound too bad :-) Ultimately I think a meter that could log data e.g. every 100ms and the data could easily be import to Excel would be ideal as then we could easily make a graph of power usage over time, but knowing the overall usage would still be better than what we have now. Thanks for the suggestion! Reply

For those who believe the City of Santa Fe's Housing and Community Development Department's Long-Range Planning has more letters than vision, its May 8 and 9 open house, which unveiled seven conceptual plans for redeveloping St. Michael's Drive, was evidence to the contrary.
For those who think divisions with acronyms like CSFHCDDLRP could be a good place to cut expenses, well, maybe this one should be allowed to live a little longer.
The plans unveiled at the open house are no fait accompli; they are not even finalists for consideration. Rather, they are concepts commissioned with the intent to initiate a community dialogue and master planning process.
City planners' realization that a pre-existing, uninspired and largely Anytown USA street like St. Mike's can be changed is evidence of the kind of energy and initiative we need from City Hall. Just because it was done wrong the first time doesn't mean it has to stay wrong forever: That's revelatory thinking for city government but increasingly common in the Mayor David Coss administration.
It's an alternative reality for Santa Fe for planners to believe the best way to enter such a process is to use local creative design and planning professionals to jump-start the imagination of the populace—it's like we slipped through a wormhole in the night and things are now going to be done rationally.
Of course, that's a bit too much to hope for. The challenges indicated by the failings of the concepts presented are equal, at least, to the excitement generated by the approach.
For several months now, the buzzword in the city's planning department about revisioning St. Mike's has been "La Rambla," in reference to the famous street in Barcelona, Spain. La Rambla is chiefly characterized by its wide, central pedestrian median edged by narrow, tree-lined streets where traffic moves at a calm pace.
Senior Planner Richard Macpherson most literally translates La Rambla to St. Mike's with his concept of a "Milla Real" or Royal Mile. Among the more earnest concepts put forward, Machpherson's calls for a "people place" that encourages pedestrian travel and bike lanes; his plan also was among the vaguest.
Spears Architects, of convention center fame, offered a heartbreakingly realistic view of what the city as a whole is most likely to accept: a classic exercise in compromise and gently nudging the status quo just enough to remain comfortably…status quo.
Steve Price of Berkley, Calif.'s Urban Advantage phoned it in—his concept was largely non-existent and more likely to instigate a conversation about the cost of color printing than redeveloping a vibrant commercial corridor.
Dekker/Perich/Sabatini, an Albuquerque firm, attacked the project with vigor, envisioning a "Paseo de las Artes." Apparently no one sent them a memo detailing Santa Fe's current abundance of "arts districts." Haven't we yet learned that when you build housing for "artists," the artists laugh at you and it ends up being offices for "architects"?
Lloyd & Associates Architects' gorgeous rendering depicts the Rail Runner trundling through a new and gigantic rotunda while happy pedestrians mill about nearby. A fine hand generates a stormy sky and a moody, watercolor palette implies conceptual gravitas. Damn it looked good. Hopefully it will be an effective tool for sparking the imagination because nothing about it is very realistic. The Rail Runner cruising next to pedestrians—what is this? The Netherlands? We have lawyers in this country, not engineers.
Albert Moore & Associates hit an intriguing note in suggesting St. Mike's become a "special development district for contemporary architecture, design, media and sustainable practices." Unfortunately, Moore's renderings of contemporary architecture looked a lot like the new Regal 14 movie theater: Anytown USA, pseudo-streetscape, next generation shopping mall crap. Whoops.
Only Roy Wroth Urbanism + Planning really laid out the fundamental flash points that the neighborhood, the citizens and the city need to consider for a redevelopment project of genuine—rather than purely aesthetic—sea change in planning, densities and uses. Wroth looks laterally and systematically at St. Mike's within the context of the whole city, and proposes methods for enhancing interconnectivity and building on strengths—things that can't be accomplished with a face lift and a couple bicycle lanes.
Of course, La Rambla isn't only a successful community gathering space because it's pedestrian friendly. It's because it's lined with cafés that don't face arcane and prohibitive state alcohol regulations. It's because kids are allowed to hang out well after dark in a culture that isn't crippled by fear of litigation and the unknown. Businesses are open later than 6 pm, eateries are allowed to stretch tables and chairs out onto the sidewalk, and vendors and buskers and street performers are an accepted part of the fabric.
How deeply we're willing to address our cultural and regulatory shortcomings and the extent to which Santa Feans engage in the process will determine the success of righting what once went wrong.

Bringing Competition to Midrange: The GeForce 9600 GT Raises NVIDIA's Sub $200 Barby Derek Wilson on 2/21/2008 9:00 AM EST

ritalinkid18 - Monday, February 25, 2008 - linkI think this review underestimated the price difference. The key here is cost. It said that cost wasn't a factor when comparing the two in question, but then used as a factor when comparing the SSC to the 8800 gt. The 8800gt's pricetag makes cost a big factor.
Not to mention the SLI vs Crossfire, which is undoubtably the 9600gt's win. ( Case and point: http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3234...">http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3234... ) This may be about cost and a cost saving upgrade down the road should be included.
The fact that the 9600gt is the clear winner here in completely understated. Reply
7Enigma - Monday, February 25, 2008 - linkDerek and Anand I had a quick question. I, like several others, would have preferred you to have a high(er) end card like the 3870 or 8800GTS (or even just the 512meg version of the GT). I understand the purpose of the review is to show mid-range cards, but its the SLI configuration that annoys me.
In a recent Daily Tech article the author eludes to 2 of these 9600's in SLI being a "better" value than a single more expensive GTS (since the 9600's would technically be less expensive). The problem with this statement as we all know is that it is software dependent on whether the extra card will actually be implemented well. Otherwise you have a single 9600 that would get blown away by a GTS. Unfortunately less informed readers of DT that then come over to Anandtech for the review would be shown the 9600 in SLI as the leader.
I understand you don't want to muddy the graphs/charts with the last 100 video cards you have reviewed, so here is my question:
7Enigma - Monday, February 25, 2008 - link
While its great to use the latest and greatest CPU/RAM/Mobo (to make sure the system is GPU constrained), is it possible to stick with a static testbed for at least a couple months (say 3-6)?
Reason being, right now if you had not switched from a QX9650 to a QX9775 between your last review (3870X2), and not switched from Vista 32-bit to 64-bit, we could possibly check back and compare to previous reviews to do our own comparisons. I understand driver revisions are going to still be a factor but as long as we don't see large differences in performance between the drivers it could be a good comparison.
7Enigma - Monday, February 25, 2008 - link
To keep things even more consistent between reviews just keep a HD image of the drive and reformat back to the same static testbed whenever doing a video card review (more expensive but easier would be just a HD swap). We understand you cannot have a dedicated system that doesn't do anything but review video cards, but if you could quickly just swap out a HD or reformat to the same state as a previous review that would end these constant questions about, "Why didn't you test so and so?".
You could then say, "Look it up yourself!"
Here's the quote from the DT article in question:
"As far as performance goes, NVIDIA claims a couple 9600 GT's in SLI mode will perform slightly better than a single 8800 GTX. With the cost of an 8800 GTX still above the $400 price point, the 9600 GT SLI setup is a better investment. Just to mention it, NVIDIA states the 9600 GT puts out twice the frame rates as the 8600GTS when comparing SLI performance."

jamynn - Monday, February 25, 2008 - linkWhy are the results for Crysis, Oblivion and Quake Wars 880GT 256 so much lower in this article than they are in their original review in this article? http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3175...">http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3175...
Definetly makes the 880GT256 look alot worse than it originally tested. Looks Suspicous. Reply
MadBoris - Saturday, February 23, 2008 - linkOk, I was waiting for this review to popup on the home page but it never did on my visits why is that?
It seems now I have to scour the site, in this case the video section, to look for it on some whim. The home page has really become disappointing, sometimes it shows an interesting blog but doesn't include this review, the home page is doing a disservice to visitors. I hope you guys can fix that or start sending all new content to the home page.
Secondly, I would have really liked a comparison to the 8800GT 512 in this review, the question to me is the 8800GT 512, for only $20 - $30 more, worth it over this card. Reply
niva - Friday, February 22, 2008 - linkI still have my Tyan Tachion 9700 Pro in my 6 year old system and runs just fine and I use every day for office/email/internet and gaming! Of course I don't run any of the stupid games which require new gen cards. I'll keep it until it dies I think. Ultimate card evar though at the time it came it was high end as heck!
Seriously though, we should all be happy that we actually HAVE a mid-price range market now. I am, thanks Nvidia! Reply
Groovester - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkIt seems strange that no mention was made of the 8800GS card. Perhaps it wasn't available when AT decided to test the 9600, but it would be nice had they tested the two. After all, they are NVidia's two newest mid-range video cards. According to the 8800GS specs, if they are going to retail for about the same price, it looks like the 8800GS would perform better. And I doubt that I would be using the new color "saturater" of the 9600. Reply
pmonti80 - Friday, February 22, 2008 - linkThat's probably becuase it's a transicional product, in one or two months you won't be able to buy one. Reply
poohbear - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linknice review, but i expected to see more cards compared with the 9600gt from a site like anandtech, especially the 8800gt 512mb version which everybody's been buying. are you guys on a budget or something? Reply
anachreon - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkSomehow this review feels a little sloppier than the past AnandTech video card reviews I have come to trust. The cards represented in various tests are inconsistent, and the lack of a 512mb 8800 GT, as well as AA and AF, in the tests is baffling. Reply
DerekWilson - Friday, February 22, 2008 - linkI don't understand what you mean about the cards represented being inconsistent. We tested the exact same six cards in every tests and the same 2 multiGPU configurations as well ... the only graph that lacks anything is the WiC 16x12 graph because we could not get the 3850 to complete the benchmark at that resolution.
The 512 MB 8800 GT isn't really in competition with these cards in terms of price. Since AMD dropped the price so dramatically, it's more of a direct comparison, and if we had known before hand we would have included something else from the next price point up (like the 512MB 8800 GT).
We can't test everything for every review, and we've got to make trade offs. Sometimes we make the wrong call, and not including the 512MB 8800 GT was one of those time. We'll certainly include it in follow up testing.
Derek Wilson Reply
pmonti80 - Friday, February 22, 2008 - linkDereck I think what he means is that at 1st sight the results are little bit strange. I had to check several reviews to see that the results are the same (how could i ever doubt you? ;)).
An example of strange results at 1st sight is the 256MB 8800GT. Also the fact that filters give an advantage to the 9600 GT and the test without filters give an advantage to the 3870. Reply
GTaudiophile - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkSo if I have a eVGA GeForce 7900GT, which would be the better upgrade? A 8800 GT with 512MB RAM or a 9600GT? Can you get a 9600GT with 512MB RAM? Reply
xsilver - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - link7900gt to 9600gt wouldnt be a colossal upgrade. It would probably be better to get the 8800gt or 8800gts otherwise stick it out with what you've got until the next 9xxx part rolls around. Reply
LoneWolf15 - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkNo AA/AF makes these benchmarks nearly useless. Also, while Oblivion is a great game, it is now a dated game, and no longer a good standard to measure cards by.
I'm sorry, but I couldn't base a buying decision off of this review. Reply
semo - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkwouldn't it be better to put in 2 higher clocked dual core processors. aren't 4 cores more than enough for games today? Reply
peldor - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkWhat's up with no AA tests at all and in some cases no AF? Seems like half a review without those. Reply
Spacecomber - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkThanks for the review and helping us to keep up with the latest in video card releases. I'm glad to hear that you'll be going back to include the 8800GT 512MB and the 3850 512MB. It's a crowded field with all of these cards that have come out in the last few months, but I think it is important to try and keep an eye on all of them when making these comparisons.
It may not be practical at this time, since the 9600GT isn't available for sale, yet, but it would be nice to see a bang for your buck kind of chart for these new cards. I know that anandtech has done something like this in the past. The arbitrary part will be deciding what benchmarks (games and resolutions) to use for this. Still, I would find this interesting to see.
Any ideas as to what resolutions (i.e., size monitors) that people looking for the $150-$250 card likely might be using? Reply
Verdant - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkuse a midrange lunch right about now, ...mmm Subway Reply
fic2 - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - link"major complaint we had of previous midrange lunches."
Do you get fries with those lunches? Reply
Sunrise089 - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkYou guys really needed to test a 8800GT 512 or 8800GTS 512. I understand this is a midrange part, but when it tops the benchmark charts in some games, it's absolutely essential to know what card is actually faster. Looking at the Enemy Territory test for example, one could conclude that this could be the single fastest GPU available.
PS - For those talking about the "best midrange GPU ever" - forget about it. This card certainly trumps the last-gen midrange, so it's much better than the 8600s, and on par with the 7600s. The 6600s though actually topped the last-gen high-end. 6600gt over 9800pro is IMHO the example of the ultimate midrange card. Reply
andrew007 - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkIt is ABSOLUTELY essential to add 8800GT numbers. Without those numbers I just have no idea how well (or not well) this card performs. It doesn't make sense to not include a card that sells at a similar price and is probably the most popular right now and is currently used as a yardstick. Reply
nubie - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkNatch, the 7900GS is quite simply the ultimate mid-range (although I do have a couple 6600GT, and they are really good). I suppose the argument could be made that they are really entry-level High-End, but the prices are mid-range.
For $95 on ebay and dropping, the 7900GS isn't hard to recommend. With Ramsinks and an aftermarket cooler it can easily hit 650mhz stable on the core with a slight voltmod (some voltmodded Zalman'ed ones are $100) Reply
Sunrise089 - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - link7900GS isn't a bad choice either, but it looses out on 4 counts:
1) It cost more - as you said, it's entry level high-end by total numbers sold, even if it isn't by percentage of maximum possible GPU cost.
2) You had to work your way further up the line to clearly beat the last gen - it's most impressive to beat the last top-end card with a card more stages removed from the top part (6800ultra-6800gt-6800-6600gt is more than 7900gtx-7900gt-7900gs)
3) Perception wise, it has the "high end" naming scheme where the second diget of the name is 8 or 9.
4) Most importantly it came out much later. This is the essential qualifier of a great card IMHO. The 6600gt beat the 9800pro within a month of the first 6000 series availability. The 7900gs was a later-released part where nvidia had more time to work on economics-of-scale to keep the price down. Reply
ChronoReverse - Friday, February 22, 2008 - linkNot to mention the x1950Pro beat the snot out of it. Reply
nubie - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - link1) Sorry, 8600GT was always more expensive than 7900GS. (no facts of course, I am probably not 100% true)
2) 7950GX2-7900GTX-7950GT-7900GT-7900GS If you want to be technically accurate.
3) Pffftthth, as I say, they were available for $130-150, the 8600GT wasn't (isn't??)
4) Ah, but I really don't care about ATI.
So in summation, I agree with you, but it is a very close call, facts remain that the 8600GT was only a good buy if you needed the "True Purevideo HD" Full hardware decode, and performance around that of a card $50 cheaper. Reply
nubie - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkOops, I almost forgot, the 7900GS is an x1950XTX killer, for about the same price the 7900GS could be overclocked easily to 650mhz and eat one for lunch (as mine has been doing for 2 years now :D), so your 6600GT/9800 analogy is applicable to my 7900GS one. Reply
ChronoReverse - Friday, February 22, 2008 - linkThe 7950's can't beat the x1950's much less the 7900 series. The gap has only widen as more modern games came out. Reply
Aberforth - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkCrysis benchmark @ medium settings? gimme a break, Obviously this review is designed to show 9600GT in good light. Reply
rcc - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkAs I read it, it's designed to show how it compares to similar cards. Sure they could provide test in in Crysis at full settings, but it's a bit like providing grand prix lap times on a Tercel.
Staples - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkEither that or this was done very sloppy. The 8800GT 256 is mysteriously missing in all the benchmark which do not require a lot of video memory. In these tests, the 8800GT 256MB would win. I smell a rat. Reply
Kurotetsu - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - link"The benchmarks don't prop up the card I bought so it must be bogus!"
If the 3850 was leading in that test, you wouldn't be complaining at all.
Griswold - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - link(_,_) Reply
pmonti80 - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkIt's just a review made at the kind of settings most of the cards analized will be used. How useful can be a review were the cards are around 15 fps? Reply
ncage - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkFor those who want a more lengthy writeup with more games tested and a bigger selection of video cards then check out the review at tomshardware. I wanted a comparison between the 8800GT 512MB & the 9600GT which is available at toms. I will tell you they are pretty close in benchmark numbers but the 8800GT still wins in every case which im quite happy about since i just bought a 8800GT :). We will see how good value the 9600GT is after the etailers do their price gouging. Still Nvidia is doing a VERY good job in bring competition to the market. Reply
knitecrow - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkbah... i am not going back to tom for anything Reply
murphyslabrat - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkI am sure this is on everyone's mind: overclock the thing already! Reply
dm0r - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkCa we say the best midrange nvidia card ever?
Good review.Ill keep tunned for more testing.I also would like to see the 256MB variant.Thanks Reply
kmmatney - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkNo, I don't think you can say best mid-range card ever. The past year has been so bad, it just makes this look like a good deal. This is what the mid-rnage should have always been like. Some better mid-range cards in the past
Better mid-range cards that I've owned in the past
Voodoo3 1000 - $45 card, performed better than $100 cards at the time
Ti4200 - $120, very overclockable
Radeon LE - $65 - bios update to perform like a $165 card
6600GT - defacto mid-range card for a long time
Radeon X800GTO2 - Bios update to 16 pipes, X850XT PE speeds
There are others, these are just very good mid-range cards that I've owned, that I would say offered the same or better bang-for-buck as the 9600GT.
BigLan - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkThe 6600 was a great card for it's time, and further back than that the 4200ti was incredible - though you could argue that it wasn't technically mid-range. Reply
dm0r - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkoh, forgot to mention the temperature tests Reply
knitecrow - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkIt is a good preview but I would like to see more in depth benchmarking, esp. with titles like Gears Of War, and Bioshock Reply
Spivonious - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkIs the 3850 included in the benchmarks at 256MB or 512MB? Reply
hadifa - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkTomshardware has done some tests with the 512MB version Reply
ImSpartacus - Saturday, February 23, 2008 - linkI don't know why anyone bothers with the 256mb version anymore. The 512mb is cheap as dirt and does wonders on those higher resolutions.
I was planning on getting one, but this 9600gt is looking a little better. Reply
Spivonious - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkNevermind, I read the whole last page now :) Reply

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, and by making some small changes -- quitting smoking, being more active, and eating healthier -- you can reduce your risk of heart-related problems.
When it comes to eating for your heart, the general rule of thumb is to include more fruits and vegetables and less junk. There are some foods, however, that have earned the "heart-healthy" label by going above and beyond when it comes to keeping your body chugging along.
Salmon has more omega-3s per serving than most people get in an entire day! These fatty acids decrease your risk of stroke, heart attack and high blood pressure. Just two servings of salmon per week can help keep your ticker ticking along. It's important to make sure that you're buying low-mercury salmon, though. The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) offers an up-to-the-minute guide to sustainable seafood and mercury levels in fish here.
Not a fish eater? Pick up some flaxseeds for the same omega-3 boost. You can buy the seeds whole or ground, and mix them into yogurt or smoothies, or sprinkle them on salads or cereal for a heart-healthy upgrade.
When it comes to keeping your heart healthy, oats are a nutritional powerhouse. Loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, folate and potassium, these fiber-rich grains help to lower LDL, or "bad" cholesterol. To get the maximum benefit, opt for steel cut, not instant oats. Not only is real oatmeal better for you than the stuff in the packet, it's also heartier and tastier.
Olive Oil
You've probably heard about how healthy the Mediterranean diet, and olive oil is one of its superstars. The oleic acid in this healthy oil is a monosaturated fat responsible for lowering bad cholesterol and blood pressure. Cold-pressed, extra virgin olive oil offers the most health benefits. Whip up an easy, tasty salad dressing by shaking up one part vinegar, three parts olive oil, sea salt, freshly ground pepper and your choice of herbs or spices.
All tree nuts are good for your heart, but walnuts contain a higher amount of alpha-linolenic acid, which has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and improves a wide variety of cardiovascular function, most notably blood pressure. My favorite way to get more walnuts into my diet is to swap it in for pine nuts in homemade pesto. It even tastes better!
Red Wine
Finally, an excuse to drink more red wine! Resveratrol, a polyphenol in red wine, helps to prevent damage to red blood cells and blood clots. The key is drinking in moderation, though, which means one 5-ounce glass per day for women, and 1-2 servings for men. Let's all raise a glass to that.
When it comes to antioxidants in food, blueberries are rock stars. The high levels of the free-radical-fighting nutrients in these berries helps to reduce bad cholesterol and raise HDL, the "good" cholesterol, and it helps to protect your blood vessels. Healthiest breakfast ever? Oatmeal topped with flaxseed and blueberries. Have it tomorrow morning -- your heart will thank you.
Black Beans
Black beans are loaded with soluble fiber, which helps to lower your risk of cardiovascular disease and heart attacks. They also contain phytonutrients, which have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Tip: Buy dried black beans and soak them overnight before cooking. They retain more nutrients that way, plus they're easier on the wallet and the digestive tract.
Spinach is one of those superfoods that we should all be eating, all the time anyway, but it's especially good for the heart due to its peptide content. Peptides lower blood pressure and keep blood vessels healthy, which reduces the risk of atherosclerosis and high blood pressure. For a double dose of heart support, toss spinach leaves with a homemade olive oil dressing or sauté spinach in olive oil.
When it comes to heart health, soy is a controversial topic. The general consensus seems to be that whole soybeans -- rather than tofu, tempeh or other processed soy products -- offer the most cardiovascular support, though. So keep a bag of edamame in the freezer for a filling, healthy snack.
Green Tea
Want to reduce your risk of dying from any disease? Sip on some green tea. The high amount of polyphenols in green tea protect against heart disease, lower the risk of stroke, and save arteries from free radical damage. Some studies even show that drinking green tea all day is even better than drinking water, so brew up a big batch of regular or decaf and drink to your health.

Compare Ferrari Rust Treatment prices in Sunderland today.
well where do I start with my praise for everyone at VRS REPAIR SERVICES who go that extra mile to put their customers first, after being totally ripped off quote wise by the big high street exhaust companies one of which refused my car because the manifold bolts were seized,VRS came to my help within minutes of posting on the site, cost was quarter than the high street exhaust places and an extremely fast turnaround. before paying any expensive high street fitting centre costs give VRS a call you will not be dissappointed, am so pleased to find these guys. VRS = VALUE RELIABLE SERVICE. Thank you VRS your a credit to the auto trade
Oil change fine. Follow-up jobs to hand brake and calipers were a joke. Returned twice to get hand brake sorted and ended up having to go somewhere else. And calipers were put on rear wheels shoddily. Had to return as wheels were hot. Pins were discovered as being disintegrated on all four calipers by another garage - how they didn't notice that I have no idea. The oil change was fine though.
Very efficient
Great service from this Garage. Very personable staff great information and explanation every step of the way. As a single woman did not feel unsure of honest quote which happens frequently and in fact felt very secure throughout the repair. Will certainly use again and would definitely recommend them. Thank you VRS.
Great service from this garage , they collected my car , fitted a new clutch and delivered it within 4 hours . Will definitely use them again. Good price too.
Excellent service and friendly garage work done in a timely manner would highly recommend this garage .
Fantastic service. I had a phonecall immediately after asking for a quote. I was told they could do it the next day and come and collect my car and drop it off afterwards. True to their word a man came prompt early the next morning and came back at the time stated with my clutch all done. Would definitely use this garage again.
Excellent service. Contacted them in the morning. Came and collected the car early afternoon. Returned the following lunch time running better than it has in all it's 15 year life. Well done lads, much impressed. Definitely use you again if only for annual service.
Absolutely fine
Excellent service will be using again
Excellent all round service for the price. Would certainly recommend and use in the future.
They quoted a price and apart from a faulty head light which had to be added,;that's the price I paid. Collected and dropped off my car - great price, great job, great garage.
They actually charged me less then the quote as the brake fluid did not need changed. The guys at the garage were great, definitely will use them again
Quicky and easy, would definitely recommend!
Top service i would recommend to anyone
Knew what be was doing, fixed my problem in minutes.
Will recommend use normal autocentre!

Boom shakes windows in several counties
Published: Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 10:41 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 10:41 p.m.
A sonic boom of some sort caused windows and walls to shake over several counties in North Central Florida Thursday night, and Alachua County sheriff's officials got the explanation that it was "military manuevering of some kind."
Alachua County Sheriff's Lt. Art Forgey said late Thursday night that the "west side of Gainesville flooded our communications center" around 9 p.m. with calls about a window-clattering and wall-shaking boom felt by many residents, particularly those in west Gainesville.
"We've been in contact with the State Warning Point, and 'military manuevering' " was the extent of the explanation, Forgey said. The State Warning Point is a clearinghouse staffed 24/7 to serve as Florida's primary point of contact for coordination in times of emergency.
Forgey did say that several counties reported experiencing a similar sonic boom, but he was not aware of which counties were reporting such an incident.

However, no advance in product quality comes at the cost of Sante's steadfast commitment to environmental responsibility. Sante's foremost goal is to make quality personal care products with minimal impact on the planet and its resources. Certifications Sante's raw materials are of the highest quality and, whenever possible, of certified organic origin. In addition, nearly all Sante products are certified by BDHI and NaTrue, two independent certification standards that award their seal to products that comply with the strictest natural standards. Plant Extracts Chamomile from Egypt, rosemary from France, linden blossom from Croatia, horsetail from Portugal – Sante's Research & Development team analyzes plants from all over the world to determine the best resources for their products. And, because production methods play an equally important role in the quality of a plant extract, Sante produces many of their own extracts. By utilizing a mixture of bio-ethanol, water and glycerin (standard extracts are usually made using only ethanol and water) Sante slowly and gently releases the active plant ingredients. The addition of glycerin and their six to eight hour extraction process allows Sante to capture more of the active plant ingredients than with a standard ethanol and water mixture. With few exceptions, the plants Sante sources for their extracts are certified organic. And, most of Sante's plant extracts are from classic medicinal plants, making them extremely effective. About Sante During the 1970's, Europe experienced a wave of environmental consciousness and activism. Organic agriculture, renewable energy and environmental responsibility became the watchwords of the movement. In 1975, a group of inspired and like-minded friends opened a shop, Lorien Goods, in Hanover, Germany. Their shop featured the few products available at the time that fit the values of the new, green movement. To expand their shop's selection and to wholesale to other stores, the group began to import products from outside of Germany. In 1977, they decided it was time to begin manufacturing their own body care products and the company, Logona, was born. In 1990, the company (now called Logocos) added a new line of natural care products, SANTE, to appeal to a younger consumer. Sante is committed to manufacturing and packaging body care products in an ecologically and socially responsible manner, and strict ingredient quality standards are of fundamental importance in Sante's product formulation and manufacturing. Sante products utilize the highest quality, natural raw materials, such as: premium botanical oils, herbal extracts and essential oils derived from organic agriculture and wild-crafting. In addition to rigorous ingredient standards, Sante also meets or exceeds industry sustainability standards for minimizing resource consumption during manufacturing and for minimal and recyclable packaging for their finished products. Today, Sante, together with Logona, serves as a leading supplier of natural personal care products throughout Europe and is currently expanding into the North American marketplace.
