Intel Solid-State Drives represent a revolutionary breakthrough that delivers a giant leap in storage performance. Intel Solid-State Drives are designed to satisfy the most demanding gamers, media creators, and technology enthusiasts. These new drives bring a high level of performance and reliability to notebook and desktop PC storage, at a fraction of the cost of the previous generation of Intel SSD products. Drawing from decades of memory engineering experience, and new, industry-leading compute-quality 34nm NAND flash memory manufacturing processes, Intel Mainstream SATA SSDs are designed to deliver outstanding performance, featuring the latest-generation native SATA interface with an advanced architecture employing 10 parallel NAND flash channels equipped with multi-level cell NAND flash memory. With powerful Native Command Queuing to enable up to 32 concurrent operations, Intel Mainstream SATA SSDs deliver higher input/output per second and throughput performance than other SSDs on the market today - and drastically out-perform traditional hard disk drives. These drives also feature low write amplification and a unique wear-leveling design for higher reliability, meaning Intel drives not only perform better - they last longer.

Cheers Gibbo, these are harder to find in stock than WMD's! I'll be in tomorrow to pick mine up :banana:
These are described by Anandtech (http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=3631&p=1) as the best in class, and with the Win7 release next month I would expect a huge surge in demand for SSD's - grab 'em while you can!

Morning gibbo, Just a quick Q, should I get 2x 30gb vertex drives for raid or should I get one of these drives??

HI m8

Depends what your doing. Write transfers on two Vertex drives will be incredibly quick, so if your writing large files to the drive often then Vertex is the way forward.

If however its more standard use, like opening random programmes, loading games etc. then the Intel will be very quick, not sure exactly how it would compared to a pair of raided OCZ Vertex drives but cant see been much in it plus you still have a larger capacity with the Intel drive.

However with anything do your own research m8 before making a buying decision. :)

Thanks for that, I shall be using trim on windows 7, I wil be using it for general use, I had the 32gb extreme drive but it went to silicon heavon. I dont write many files, just install games and then use them. So based on that I think the intel is probs best bet.

Will do a little research in to it but as I have found so far, there doesnt seem to be any reviews showing comparisons between 1 intel and say 2 vertex drives.

i would still like to point out that intel SSD's re made by hitachi.. not that thats a bad thing.. but credit given where due.. what i want to know gibba is are you getting any of the 40nm toshiba SSD's ?

also whats the warrantee on these longer lasting SSD's? as i may choose the 128GB crucial over this..or would it not be worth it? :S been looking at these a lot..

Kinda tempted with this for my laptop, had tons of issues with OCZ needing a flash. However i would prefer a small but mentaly fast SSD just for OS and APS with all hard DATA IE: docs can go on my current HD in the lappy as i have dual surport
