I suppose its a good thing that we are starting to see these "deals" maybe it means the price will be dropping soon to something a little more reasonable
Size matters and this one has some growing to do.
Zizpoom fly can suck my balls.
They raised the price because of the Bing cashback.
it's $227 now.
I will not buy from them
#3 please, how many stores don't raise the original price and give a discount? They're not a charity.
In PCs and laptops, SSDs have a LONG way to go before they are worth more than the equivalent money on a HDD. Data reliability, long term performance, and warranty are big issues that are really not yet resolved in the land of SSDs. They've got a lot of press coverage, but so have the 27 other "next hottest things" out there... ready boost, GPU based computing, ray tracing, 8 core procs, etc.
Ben,
You need a lesson in basic computer terminology:
Average seek timne is not (as you state) measured in MB/sec. Seek time is the time it takes the drive to seek, typically measured in milliseconds.
Aren't you trying to describe the read transfer rate? Similarly, the "write time" to incorrectly refer to is correctly refered to as "write speed" or "write rate" since it measures the speed or rate at which the drive can write / transfer. "Time" is measured in units of seconds whereas "speed" or "rate" is measured in (mega)bytes per second.
@#5, obviously only time will tell how reliable they will be years from now, but the fact that many manufacturers are offering 5 year warranties, and some (like patriot) are offering 10 year warranties, that makes me feel a lot more secure in purchasing one of these soon. I don't think I would be very upset if one of these broke 8 years from now if i got a free new one at that point.
The caching issues have been largely sorted out by just putting monster caches on them, and all the new ones have dropped the crappy JMicron controllers that were making people so mad.
As far as them being the next hottest thing, they deserve the top slot- wait time for a hard disk to spool up is far and away the largest chunk of lag in computer performance for your average user, and SSD's do away with a decent amount of that.
my ssd drive died within a year.
they have no moving parts, so the fail rate can't be nearly as high as a standard HDD..
i'll let u guys test these out. i'm not going to test the water.
2 rich for my blood! I will wait.
After loading the OS to this drive, is there a way to stop programs from writing to this drive and filling it up? Example "My Documents" folder.
I love today's EETimes report... specifically at the NAND flash summit-- speech by Sun Microsystems with Michael Cornwell's view on SSD reliability and the general direction NAND has been heading. Not the best endorsement of consumer SSDs.
