Intel 510 Series SSD now available.

No kidding. Hopefully SandForce partners keep their word and the 120Gig is priced at $250 or so, help push prices down.
 
I think I read the reviews right and correct me if i am wrong but, i would be better off buying the 120GB G2 than buying this one because:

1)120GB G2 is $176 after rebate (dunno how long that'll last) as compared to the $315 for the Intel 510

2)Isn't the 510 4k random reads/writes LOWER than the G2s?
 
I was waiting a long time for this drive. Truely dissapointed.


Now I will go with a Vertex 3 in a few weeks.
 
talk about dropping the ball, i am in market for new SSD and wanted to see what these would be like. got my answer

I have an older motherboard with Sata II, are any of these new drives worth getting much less this one?

I'd probably pick up a vertex2 or x25-m if you're stuck on sata2.

haha, i remember when sata 2 came out i was like 'omg what if i could have a storage drive that would totally saturate the sata 2 interface? naaaaah, pipe dream. hard drives will never be that fast" XD
 
Even the Canadian NCIX place is cheaper than Newegg (no stock though) so this is definitely "new product" pricing. Look at the Plextor M2 - came out @ egg at $700, then quickly dropped to $600 and then even $580 briefly.
 
Thanks for review SickBeast. Always helps in threads like this. Uh no thanks@ that price.
 
This is not an G3 drive this is an intel drive with a marvel controller.

I'm pretty sure we will still see a G3 drive but I believe it will only be SATA 2 and their focus might be on increasing drive size and not performance per say.
 
im less concerned with performance and more concerned with size going up and price going down

even if they came with a porn star to give me BJS a 600$ 200GB drive isnt worth it
