SSD Shopper's Assist
Hey Gang,
I think its time to get with the times and go the way of the SSD. I already have an Areca-1220 raid card with 8 sata slots. So now I need 8 SSD's to fill them. I wanna go the cheap but fast route so was considering 8 of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820609330 Any input or comments or suggestions are more than welcome. |
8!!! Oh only 16GB. I personally think you would be better off with 2-3 Intel X25-M's. They are the best right now.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820167005 If not then look into the Vertex's by OCZ. They are a lil cheaper and sell a 30GB unlike Intel lowest being 80GB. Get 5-6 of them. http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...tCode=10009849 I've been saying it for awhile and am going SSD this summer or at least on my O/S. I will be goin with one or the other I have listed. Prolly two of the Intel's. |
Intels are the best :)
I still like my MTRONs tho <hungs> But it takes like 2 of my MTRONs to = 1 Intel SSD in bandwidth. I keep trying to get Francios to alow me to step up my MTRONs to Intels. He laughs at me and says... sorry we do not take inferior SSD's LOL !!! |

You know about my SSD;s so i will say this. OCZ drives rock. Yes they are expensive and i have no regrets. Their support forums are awesome. But if i could do it again i would go with these. They are slc drives and are super fast. The 60gb and under are usually mlc drives. I think 2 of these would come very close to my 4 60gb drives. Do you plan on using your onboard RAID? With any luck you have a ICH10 controller onboard.
OCZ 120gb SSD's |
Double check the specs on your card, IIRC the areca 1220 basically makes out at 3 or 4 SSDs.
More SSDs will give you more storage space but no more speed. I will try and find the link. Click me! Found it, it is from Dominick32's website. |
The 120GB Vertex's are better than the 30GB I listed.
