New Gen SSDs, Which One?
 

Going to get a new SSD, was looking at this,

Im fairly certain its the same as the Vertex 2, can anyone confirm that? Any others I should look at before pulling the trigger?

Can't speak to that Drive but the Vetex 2 I just got is sick .....


HAve not benched it but for an OS .... it is the end all IMO ....

Eveything is instant and boots up alm,ost twice as fast as my Intel 80GB

Got the 60GB flavor for $ 149.99 at Tiger

thats the new series...sandforce1200 285/275

I gotta say, that if I could ever be called a "fanboy" for any company, it would be Mushkin. Get it, you won't be sorry. :thumbsup:

same speeds as the vertex 2

Went with that since its the same as the vertex2/mushkin calisto and is cheaper.

Well I'm in on two of the Mushkin's for this dreaded forever HTPC build of mine. Should have been built two weeks ago but several RMA's and upgrades and it should be complete this weekend!

with the vertex 2's in raid + VISTA off a usb drive installed in 4 minutes rofl

Oh yeah they are quick on the installs. My C300 wasn't quite that fast on Windows 7 install but it was still damn fast. Of course I am only running with one. Interested in seeing how these Mushkin's stack up. I know after running with my C300 in my rig I would never go back to using HDD's. I tried. I have some 32MB cache HDD's in this HTPC and they just weren't cutting it.

I hear ya, once Im done with pcmark05 I will have 3, 1 for each bench OS :)
