Can I use it in my desktop?
Yes, some include a bracket that fits into a 3.5" bay, or you can just tape/velcro it to the case.
Yeah!! Velcro Works
No Fr@kn rebate.
Wow, nice to see that good SSD drives are coming down in price to almost a $1:1GB ratio
.
Good price. But this also means new products are coming.
Even tape or velcro isn't really needed with an SSD. No mechanical moving parts and high shock resistance means you can just lay it anywhere that gravity prevents it from falling and shorting contacts on another part (like the floor of the case).
Write Speed just 95 MB/s.
Good reviews, but kind of slow for Sata III ain't it?
Some Say. He was born, J/k. This is a beast drive..... been waiting for the price to $1/GB for the M4. Writes are below SATA III compared to others but its the controller that counts. Sandforce are hit and miss, these have a marvell which is better by some.
The 60/64GB drives are almost always significantly slower, especially in write. This will be closer to the faster SSDs in performance than it would be to a hard drive...
The OCZ Agility deal at NewEgg is much better and cheaper plus you also get an extra $20 rebate, and was still live as of last night, scroll down about 4 or 5 pages.. The Agility is WAY faster then this slow dog of an SSD.
if a ~60gb is using 2Xnm flash then yeah its going to be slower since only 1/2 the channels are being utilized.
a ~60gb with 32nm will perform about the same as a ~120gb with 2Xnm flash, so 32nm toshiba toggle flash but it won't be nearly as cheap. it's best just to get ~120GBs to begin with to avoid any headaches since most flash drives perform like crap if they are more than 50% full. especially if you fill them up completely, then "freed up space" then used them again. they'll perform close to a cheap thumb drive after that.
I seen a review where the agilty's performance goes down quite a bit compared to the vertex drive after a torture test.. Aandtech had a review.
The agility and other sandforce drives might be faster, but the M4 is reliable. So what if you gain a sec if your data is lost. That deal was awesome. I would have bought some myself if I didn't already have a 256gb ssd and a 128gb ssd. In fact I kinda regret not going for the trifecta.
