Update: Got my Vertex2 in the mail yesterday and installed it faster than the n64 kid unwrapped his xmas gift. Off to desktop in about 24 seconds. Im in love! Thanks for all the help you guys, this probably means ill be getting another come march or so...ugh the expenses to be an enthusiast! :p
i just ordered my vertex 2. should be in monday, ill tell ya how it is! but 3 of my friends have them and swear by them. Right now that is a solid choice. the crucial c300 is another solid choice but with the deals on the vertex2's hard to beat
i think this post is not directed solely at SSD users, thus, on a normal hard drive where you have copious amounts of space, the pagefile, for MOST people, doesnt really need to be fooled with. SSD is another story as space is limited. also remember, ssd users are nowhere near the "vast...
I actually bought one a few weeks ago. So far no complaints at all. I love the side button by the thumb that shows all windows on the desktop, thats pretty darn cool. Im a happy camper....ALSO! Its on sale right now! Best Buy is like $30
since i didnt know what paging was I looked it up. and in regards to the current debate, this may help. there is another link within this one that goes even deeper.

yeah i just found that out after having purchased. Apparently you can fight Newegg for the $30 because their pdf clearly says ending 9/30 twice on it. But even at $215 shipped, a pretty darn good deal to me. sorry for the trouble though
youll have to explain that last one to me burner, or point me where to learn about that (im just so hungry for knowledge om nom nom nom).
I got....

for $215 AND I should be able to get a $30 mail in rebate too! AND Free shipping :)
lol i just ordered it! thanks for being my devil on the shoulder kicking my angel in the balls! woo!! Now I sit and wait...and plan...(can ya tell I'm a planner??)
I will read up, but I guess the process is just install, install windows, profit? What with all this alignment stuff? I know not to...
well today is the last day of the deal (good morning btw) and I am hovering over the buy it now button lol. I mean hell, what's $190 over the course of 5 months??....right? lol
then again, all of this is being based off the notion that it is, in fact, postponed. As fish pointed out, the author's credentials aren't really known (nor their review process lol). Has anyone been able to confirm/deny that it is postponed?
hehe. i was just reading that intel pushed back the g3 release to february 2011. which means everything else cant come out till that point (patents or some such). sooooo I'd have to wait five months before any real price drops occur. also, from what I understand the performance wont move leaps...
so I guess its now just depends on how long would I be waiting?
The thing is, I really don't NEED an SSD. I WANT an ssd. I'm addicted to buying computer hardware, what can I say. So if I guess I just need to gauge how long I would be waiting, as a HendrixFan mentioned, for the 25nm?
also I noticed this in Anandtech's new to ssd post
"Regarding Trim
If you are running RAID, any SSD in the actual RAID array will not get Trim commands, so they will be at the mercy of the drive's built-in garbage collection. Some drives are better than others at doing this. If you are...
true enough, but longer is referring to like Q1 or Q2 next year, yeah?
also, for giggles, if i WERE to get this, what else should i get with it (aka controller)? I'm gonna go read some first time SSD owners guides because I'm bored and at least its better than staring at a word document till...
During my morning work routine I check out all the deal sites and stumbled on this gem!!

oooooooh this is so tempting....the c300 is technically better...but...look!

edit: also another interesting article, especially the gaming comparison (hdd2). this might seal the deal with...
I know what you are saying hendrix, it is for the normal desktop stuff too. But, honestly, its cuz I am addicted to computer parts and love this stuff :p but hey! if I can rationalize it, why not!
Another thing I just noticed is that my motherboard doesnt support 6gbps sata from the looks of it. So I guess it's between C300 3gbps version and the vertex 2.
also, what's the difference between the Agility and Vertex series?
EDIT: nevermind, the 6gbps version down clocks fine. looks like it...
hahaha the funny thing is after I posted it I contemplated correcting that...im gonna do that right now... NOW ONTO THE DISCUSSION!
edit: apparently I cant change it to "Your 10,000th 'Which SSD' Post" if a mod can so I dont look like too much of an idiot I would appreciate it...otherwise I am...
Hey all,
Ive been a long time troll here and appreciate the knowledge and passion you all possess. Buttkissing out of the way, I am in the market for an SSD, but I have a few dilemas: I keep hearing "ohhh wait till next year!" but I kind of want one now. I understand I will be missing out on...
Sounds to me like you have a bad videocard. Put in one, see how it plays, put in the other, see how it plays, switch PCIE slots, see how it plays. Once ALL of those combos are complete, then try to Xfire and see how it plays.
