  1. Patriot Rage XT 8GB Performance (Given the statistics noted elsewhere, the same applies to the 16 but not necessarily the 32, and I'm a budget clusterer, not a rich man who can afford 32gigs on his nodes.)

  16. Worked really well, fresh format yielded ok results (not the 25MB/s promised, but tolerable.)  These results directly correlate with those of others.

  46. At this point I got very suspicious, these numbers are VERY low and they correlate (btrfs in tests has been a bit above xfs for many things).

  61. Yep, zero your drive out, then write a filesystem to it, otherwise your speed is shit.

  64. My conclusion? Don't get tempted, get real doms rather than patriot-bullshittiot flash dicks in hope that they'll satisfy a good swapspace & /var mount for your beowulf cluster.
