    difference between velociraptor & Intel X25-M 80GB

    I build niche systems for a few govt agencys who need to manipulate large files (maps, photos etc...) and have tested and deployed several of these because they make a huge difference in the ability for them to do their jobs. All the jmicrons i tested found homes on ebay because they really...

    difference between velociraptor & Intel X25-M 80GB

    If you really want to experience the difference between your raptor and your new Intel 80gb G2, do a fresh install with the g2 get everything just the way you like it and use it for 2 weeks. Then clone that setup back to your old raptor and pretend you don't have the g2 anymore! I promise you...

    SSD: Intel G2 160GB vs Crucial RealSSD C300 256

    I voted single X25 160 although 2 in raid 0 would be great (I had this config for awhile) the difference in real world use going from single to raid is hardly noticable. There will be a great improvment over your current setup going to a single drive though! Having said that, I am considering...

    Random, Best 7200 rpm drive

    Great numbers for reads and writes but the disk access is still way slow compared to any SSD out there! Where I enjoy my Intel the most is that everything I do with my system is soo much faster!

    What is the best tool to wipe free space on Intel G1 SSD?

    I have a couple of G2 Intel drives and use Intel's toolbox to keep them up, but I just picked up one of the 80gig X18m G1/Dane Electric drives from the NewEgg deal. I plan to use this in a notebook by itself and I'm wondering what is the best way to clean the free space occasionally to keep the...

    Intel G2 2x80GB RAID 0 or 1x G2 160GB

    I 2nd this experience. I've had raid 80's and 160's and other than benchmarks I haven't noticed much of a difference. Plus, you loose trim in Raid.

    Advice needed about a new hard-drive

    My understanding is that Kingston drive uses a jMicron controller. If so, I would definately take the Intel even at the smaller capacity. I'm mac stupid so i have no idea how much room your OS, apps and files uses, but I would go with an Intel or anything without a jmicron controller before I...

    SSD on SATA I?

    As stated earlier, disk access is where you will notice a huge difference. Particularly against a notebook drive, so even though you can't transfer faster than 150 you would likely not notice much difference in day to day use even if you did have sata 2. The real wow factor everyone gets excited...

    Am I SOL on hot swapping SATA drives on ICH9R controller?

    I've used Gigabyte boards with ICH9r controllers with ahci enabled in bios and XP pro many times in the past. I keep empty drive caddies on the front of my tower to hot plug drives out of other systems for imaging, cleaning, etc... I've never bothered to "safely remove hardware" and haven't had...

    Intel X25-V 40GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive

    I was expecting sub c note too, but I was able to get the dane electric rebadged 80gb x18 Intel G1 for $150 so I don't feel too bad.

    Agility vs Intel G2 SSD

    Thats the key! Sell them as close to the release of the new tech as possible and you recoupe a large portion of your investment to pick up the next one! Especially if you work that bing money!

    Agility vs Intel G2 SSD

    If resale in the near future for other upgrades is a concern, I would go with the Intel. Having bought and sold many SSD's over the past 18 months I've found the Intels to hold their value compared to retail quite a bit better than the others.

    (Veloci)Raptor 600GB

    Having had raptors in raid and several flavors of SSD's in raid and as singles, I can't wait for the day I don't have any rotational drives in my systems any more. Hot, noisy, unreliable and always in the way of airflow or my hands when I'm doing something in the case. Top that off with them...

    X25-M 160gb vs (2x 30gb Raid 0 Vertex) - Better for Boot drive and apps

    I assume he got in on the buy.com price error. They briefly had them listed at the same price as the 80gb on their website and on ebay= $399.99. I bought two thinking it would never go thru but both of mine are on the way! I'm two states away on vacation but will have my daughter pick them up...

    How fast are mini pci-e SSD cards?

    I just bought a cheapie 900a eeepc with the 4gb pcie ssd and linux. I never even bothered to boot it before I put in a supertalent 32gb SSD with the 90/55 speeds you mention. I installed windows XP, Ofc 03 and some other apps and have been using it for a day. I may have more to say in a few...

    G.Skill Falcon SSDs

    Before anyone drops a dime on a Gskill drive, they might want to go to the support forums. The discussions aren't about the new falcon drive but they are indicative of the level of support to expect from gskill, (which is none!) Here is a link to the latest discussion in their SSD forum and you...

    Official OCZ Z Drive Specs

    Can't tell you where I got these, but they are the direct specs from OCZ on the new Z Series PCIe Drives. Pricing is at $1200 for the 250G, $1885 for the 500G and $2935 for the 1T. Terribly high but lets hope they come down over time! Great specs though! Part Number(s)...

    Will SSD replace Hard Drive?

    Don't discount the competition angle. So far most of the players in the SSD mix are not the traditional spindle drive makers. Intel, OCZ, G.Skill, Patriot, etc... etc... are the players in the SSD market right now and as the number of makers grow, aggressive pricing will follow. Especially...

    PCI SATA card

    Any of these motherboards with the Intel 865 chipset will bring your system into the sata world without giving up your other peripherals, and likely be cheaper and less frustrating than chasing the pci/sata controller route. You may also want to take a look at eBay for a newer board that uses...

    Memory Upgrade for Dell Inspiron 1520

    Either one should work just fine. Having said that, I would personally buy the one with the best specifications - Kingston. tcsenter has a great point about the voltages, but in this case their the same so take the best specs. Even though they possibly exceed the needs of your current system...

    How can I get my files off failed drive?

    stick the drive in the freezer overnight and try it in the morning. I've had this work about 1 out of 3 times with hundreds of drives over the past 10-15 years. Be ready with where you want to put the files and get them quick. it usually only lasts about an hour before they go kupoot for good.

    New x25-m firmware

    Here are my results using two X25M 80GBs in Raid 0. I just cloned my Raid Volume to an extra Sata drive I had sitting here and then cloned back after the firmware update. I thought I had some good numbers before but the new ones are way better!:D Just to test real world use, I transferred a...

    Upgrade from Athlon XP 2000+

    IMHO, upgrading to 2 or 3gb of ram would be far more beneficial to your system than any processor upgrade that system would support. And I believe it would make a very noticable difference in your system.

    i7 920 vs. 940

    2.66GHz vs 2.93GHz is a very small difference. With or without overclocking there is very little to gain going to the 940 IMHO. Should command a $20 price premium at most. The I7 upgrade will rock though!
