Shouldn't this be posted in the "Hot Deals" forum?
I thought you were happy with your Plextor.

Just picked one of these up over the weekend from newegg for 299.99. I was happy with my X25-M G2 for speed and what not but just needed more space. Am I going to see a noticeable bottleneck from having Sata-II? My X58 board does not support Sata 3 and I've heard the add in boards aren't really worth it.

In short, "no." Unless you're buying it to stare at CrystalDisk all day and benchmark it, you won't notice any bottlenecking.

Sorry folks. Didn't realize there was a hot deals forum!

I'll keep these over there from now on. And yes, I am happy with my Plextor! Just sharing the info is all :)

THis is a damn fine drive. I believe Samsung is rated second to intel when it comes to reliability in AnandRedShimpi's opinion.
