DAMN! And I slept soooo well last night dreaming of new SATA-600/USB-3 motherboards only to wake up to reality this morning (actually afternoon). Dreaming wins hands down...I was really enjoying the hot new standard. :-}

No sooner said than I have to correct myself. From SlashGear and other sites... "ASUS P6X58 Premium motherboard with USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/s" http://www.slashgear.com/asus-...and-sata-6gbs-2149837/ It's not buyable yet, but indications are that it's real and near. By the time Win7...

The more I hear about this the more confused I get. Trouble is I don't know enough to separate out the comments that SSDs in RAID-0 can run into the SATA-300 wall and the differing opinions that this won't happen as Alyarb says above. I've actually seen benchmarks that "prove" out the...

Thanks for the SATA names and GB/s figures...and for the reassurance that the Colossus won't run out of SATA-300 headroom.

Thanks much for the clarification on SATA-600. Ouch on spring 2010 for its arrival...but then it's okay because SATA RAID uses two channels. OTOH, on the few brief early discussions about the OCZ Colossus, more than one person has said that it will have bottleneck problems. If that's true, is...

SATA3, SATA-6GB, eSATA. I looked at SATA on Wikipedia, but for someone with serious reading and concentration issues, it quickly became an indecipherable soup. The only thing clear was eSATA which seems to be simply an existing standard for connecting external drives (right?). But SATA3 and...

Much appreciate the three replies. Yes, it would certainly seem like a "colossal" :-) mistake if the drive can't deal with firmware updates, GC, and TRIM. Thanks especially to dali71 for passing along the info that the Colossus should have this. Any time frame on when you might get one to...

I tagged this question onto Anand's latest great SSD treatise, but am repeating it here hopefully for greater discussion... Any idea if the (mid-Sept release?) OCZ Colossus's internal RAID setup will handle the problem of RAID controllers not being able to pass Windows 7's TRIM command to the...
