^i just bought one too, that's the stupidest sticker. ever. lol
Found out something really nice about the ocz vertex ssd, you can do a little trick to make trim work in raid. So you dont get performance decrease over time even in raid mode, thats just perfect. Now i just need the money for 2 30gb ssd and laugh at windows booting in 2 seconds. Ok it might be more, but it should be very fast. For the trick, you just have to search a bit the ocz forum and everything is explained there.
IIRC all the new OCZ Vertex drives (after firmware 1.0) have the trim function built into the firmware.
The big advantage of the ssd are not the read and write time
^ or from one of the reviews of the RAIDed drives, probably even max out SATA3 if they decided to make it a SATA3....crazy
If you RAID them up you get multiple SATA channels so you get added bandwidth.
There is a SATA3 anyways, SATA 6.0 Gb/s.
It was more about faster drives not being possible without the CD exploding. The 52x speeds were right on the limit of what CDs could take, which is why Kenwood came up with the slower spinning speed/multiple laser thing. At that point CD drives were fast enough and making any faster drives would have been much more expensive.SSD's are the new CD-ROM's. Remember when you got a 2x CD-ROM back in the day? And the day after you bought one they released a 4x? Then a week later they released a 6x? Then they did 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 36, 48 and then Kenwood (why Kenwood of all companies?) decided to put an end to this nonsense and released a 72x drive. Yes. It was mentally fast, but noone could see the point anylonger. Also it was quite expensive and made bylinking together four headswitchcraft, the actual speed of the drive was18xconstant, and it didnt like anything put the purestaryanpressed silver CD's.
