Intel X25-V vs OCZ Vertex Turbo?

[HendrixFan]

anyone else looking at these?

Is the AS SSD thread someone posted a screenshot of their performance with two of the OWC drives in RAID.

I was thinking I may go that route soon, pick up a 50GB for now and add in other 50GB drives down the road and put them in RAID. With two or three drives I have more than enough space for most of my stuff other than storage. I could upgrade incrementally instead of plunking down all the money for a large one up front, and I would see a huge boost in speed over a single drive. Of course I'd need a RAID card to fully utilize that setup, but I have no problem doing that.

It's not quite 10GB, but close (7GB). Intel is measuring GB in decimal point, OCZ using binary.

Yeah def. not as good value as the x25-m 80GB, but it is cheaper all up, not /GB.
Even if I could find a better deal for the x25-m overseas, it'd still be a tad cheaper.
And as it's to be an OS/core apps drv, it's plenty of space...

What's the "AS SSD" thread?

Cheers
