Intel replies to solid-state drive 'slowness' critique
APH Networks —
... the synthetic workloads they use to stress the drive are not reflective of real world use. Similarly, the benchmarks they used to evaluate performance do not represent what a PC user experiences."
Intel continued. "In general, when a PC's drive (SSD or HDD) is full, there will be some reduction in system performance, however the performance reduction reported by PC Perspective is higher than we generally expect, which is why we are looking into the methodology."

Intel Quick to Respond to X25-M 'Slowness' Claims
Maximum PC —
... solution PCPerspective could come up with to restore the once speedy SSD back to its original performance level was to use a dated version of HDDErase. Not so fast, says Intel in response to PCPerspctive's claim that the X25-M had become, well, not so fast. Despite the review site having found a drop in performance in all three of its SSDs, Intel claims it has not seen the same type of degradation in its own labs."Our labs currently have not been able to duplicate these results," Intel said . "In our estimation, the synthetic workloads they use to stress the drive are not ...
SSD performance can drop over time
DV Hardware —
... A couple of days ago PC Perspective published an analysis of the long-term performance of Intel's mainstream solid state disks, you can check it out over here. The article claims the performance of solid state disks, like the Intel X25-M that was used in the test, degrades over time due to internal fragmentation.
Intel responded to the article and stated they were unable to duplicate these results:
In response, Intel made a statement on Thursday. "Our labs currently have not been able to duplicate these results," Intel said. "In ...

Intel Responds to Fragmentation with New X25-M Firmware
PC Perspective Articles Feed —
... found myself joining Ryan in a conference call with Intel. The principals office feeling was quickly dispelled by their ice breaker: Hey guys, thanks for the free press! We got down to business, we argued our case, defended my article, and I passed the necessary info and tools to quickly replicate. The Intel guys were surprisingly down to earth and receptive to our input. During our conference call, another wave of articles was swelling. This one began with a press release to CNET that was twisted out of context by some of ...
Intel Releases Fix for SSD's
Overclockers Club news Feed —
... by the site PC Perspective claimed that their tests showed that Intel's X25-M SSD had problems with fragmentation and performance slow-downs. They found that this mostly happened with writing small files to the drive. Intel responded by saying that they could not reproduce these problems in the lab. But now, Intel has released a new firmware for their X25-M drives. And they asked the reviewers at PC Perspective to test it. Why? Because they found the same results that the reviewer did. PC Perspective ...
