NCIX.com - Buy OCZ Vertex 60GB 2.5IN SATA2 Solid State Disk Flash Drive SSD - OCZSSD2-1VTX60G In Canada.

Guess those price drops due to the 2G X25-m are happening quicker then expected!

Meh, triple raid ?

nah........

But I really like what intel is doing to the market.

And this is just the beginning of price drops too. Supposedly the new JMicron controller will drop prices even further.

Assuming it works?

Is there any rumors about a new Indilix controller on the way too?

I'm not sure any of these controllers will be any more then evolutionary anyways. We're already saturating the sata bus right now, without a next gen controller. How much more preformance can you get befor you hit 300/sec? We're at 250 now. With overhead in to it, I think we'd be lucky to see 10% more and hit 275megs/sec

I personally am not looking forward to the read and write max speed of the next gen units (ie Hd Tach or HD Tune read / write test results) as they are as you point out close to sautartion w/ current gen. What I'm hoping for is a SSD Controller which can do 100MB/s @ 4k size writes and 250MB/s 4k reads (i.e. Crystal DiskMark small file test)! Its probably a few generations (AT LEAST) away but this is where the SSD improvements over this gen are going to take place, and where the biggest "real world" perfromance gains are going to come from as most of the time its small files your OS is going to be working on (and using these as data storage devices....is a less than optimal solution for most situations). ;)
