LOL "SSDs this size typically go for around $170."
Yeah and they're typically 3-4x as fast in sequential I/O and 100x faster in random I/O. Nobody's buying velocirappers anymore, nice try.
They need to drop the price to about $25 if they want some interest in these. Which will probably happen eventually.
Agree with #2... at $25 will make a nice 4x RAID0 set...
SSD all the way.
Why you would even buy spinners for a PC still is just plain stupid if your looking for speed.
Take your RAID 0 and a SSD would kill that
Not to mention last 10x longer
