im interetsed in the above----/\

this is the info on overclockersuk site.

has anyone in here had anything to do with these drives and are the stats any good on it?

thanx
 
from what i have heard a Western Digital VelociRaptor will out preform a SSD, dont bank me on it though. If i were you i'd just get a VelociRaptor disk, if would be so much cheaper.

the ssd drive's load times are half of the raptor's..

there where talks of stutering problems when writing to the ssd drives i was wondering if anyone got the ver2 ssd's and what are they like?
 
yea i don't have any first hand experience. But i have heard about the stuttering problems especially when you use it as a boot disk. It had a something to do with the controller.
Ver2 didn't change anything about that. All of the cheap (read: under $3000) controllers have this problem. The only on that hasn't got this problem, so i've heard, is some fancy intel $5000 dollar controller.
Anyway if i were you i'd either wait before the newer ssd's come out or get the velociraptor which is very nice to. Orrrr you can throw some other hdd's in raid.
 
either way the ssd's are way faster then any hard drive, but price/performance/size, the velociraptor wins.
 
ok so a ten second load time with a 2 second lag instead of a 20 second load time? it wouldnt matter to me.
 
i'm not talking about load time just about normal workings. Just like i'm simply typing this message and it would hang for a sec or 2.
 
currently, almost all SSD has the same controller made by jmicron, so it has horrible stuttering problems. intel will launch their own SSD very soon that will dominate all current SSD performance. the only downside is the price tag is $500+ for 80gb
 
Still too expensive. Wait a couple years until they're mainstream. Sure, on paper, they're faster, but the price per gig is still way too high, IMO. The speed doesn't justify the cost.

Take a look at this too: http://www.maxishine.com.au/documents/ocz_solid_state_drive.html

The drive reviewed is larger than the drive you're looking at, but it helps give you an idea of how the SSD compares to the Velociraptor.
 
What do people measure as load time? Like from when you press the button to turn it on until the desktop first shows?

interesting-- performance 9/10 but price 1/10.....
 
I'm really excited about Solid State Disk technology. The biggest bottleneck in a system is the hard drive. When prices come down I would like to get one.

Some people are bragging the Intel SSDSA2MH080G1C5 80 gigabyte Serial ATA Internal Solid state disk has 180 megabyte per second read times. If that is true that is about three times faster than normal hard drive read speeds. Too bad it is around $600 currently. Way too high in cost.
