or atleast not just for laptops, i want a 3.5" high perf SSD!!!!
i dont mind the price, i wld just use windows and a game or 2 on it.

stop going on about crysis will ya
It will be a good game, but your hyping it up too much
It will look good but be a short game and be pretty boring the second time round IMO

Now just find somewhere in the UK that sells them.

I wouldn't bother though. The performance of them will gain a lot over the next few years. You just seem to buy things because they are new without any real requirement for them.

Lots of links at the bottom to read.

scan does

but ditto - don't bother yet. the seek is amazing, but let down by a relatively slow xfer. and the cost of raiding them.... maybe next year.
