Nope, Anand cleared this up in the comments.

Yes, that is the max transfer rate in theory, nothing ever close to the limit of 150MBps. I just took off 30MBps for overhead from controllers, cables, mobo, etc etc and the fact i seen many hard drives hitting less than 120MBps even SSD that is well over 200MBps couldn't get over 120MBps with...

i feel like we are talking about two different things and we are confusing the crap out of each other. God knows i am confused with 5 other threads with both of us are talking. As far as I understood, you were talking about cost/benefit justification. What i was trying to say that there is no...

Corsair S128 is selling for 327$ on newegg. It has 128GB of storage, 110MBps read and 80MBps write. Intel X25-M is selling for 369$ on newegg. It has 80GB of storage, 250MBps read, and 80MBps write. Regular people, with slower desktop and laptop who only have SATAI interface, should they...

That's the cost of being the early adopters. there's always going to be people who think the performance isn't acceptable for the PRICE they paid. Faster and better products for cheaper price are always coming out, that's life.

I know what he is talking about, but he specifically said that vertex is the first SSD that he recalls that uses cache memory to buffers read/write. I am just simply pointing out that it is not the first.

That wasn't my point. My point was that as long as people don't notice any performance degradation over months of use, the Samsung controllers are doing a good job at handling the weaknesses of SSD. Intel isn't the only one.

Nearly all jMircon based drives has that stuttering issue, even the Titan/Apex based series with RAIDed jMicron controllers. Intel and Samsung doesn't have the stuttering issue. As for Intel being faster than velco, that is only true when considering the latency and the typical usage. The...

There are people who use Samsung SLC/MLC who did not notice any performance degradation over months of use.

Not true, Corsair S128 is also very good, it is based on the previous Samsung MLC controller with 32mb of cache. 110/80MB read/write speed with 128GB of storage. Intel x25-m is very fast in read with 250/80MB with 80GB of storage or 160GB for twice the price.

Not sure why you say that, there were some SLC who had 32MB of cache. Corsair S128 which is based on the previous Samsung MLC controller has 32MB of cache.

sighs, they cancelled my order and their excuse is that "this item is discontinued, we no longer sell this" and their site is still selling it for 140 bucks. they claim that they cant update the site to reflect this.

Hey guys, thanks for your posts. I have decided on the dual g5 machine. Should get it next month or so. (Kaido, I am giving it to my bro for his birthday.)

So nobody would like to share their opinion with me?

I got an issue here. I am not a huge video editing or photography fan but I do take photos and edit videos once in a while. I like MAC because of everything else about it. I want to upgrade from my 800mhz g4 quicksilver mac to something newer and faster for two years before i upgrade again. I...
