Buying 1 from us will help pay my Christmas bonus? JK of course.
Best reason so far.
Seriously. I mean, I'm thinking, SandForce drives have sleep/standby issues, C300 drives have stuttering, Vertex 2s dying left and right. I know you guys will stand behind your drives, but if I were to get one, I'd probably go Intel, they seem to have the least amount of issues. (Well, and I don't know anyone with Corsair Force drives, they are SandForce, are they not?)
So the two things that really hold me back, are: data security, and price.
I'm sure that over time, price will eventually decline, and there are advances with data security (on-drive encryption). But I'm limited by my existing motherboards, which I plan on holding onto for a number of years, for various reasons of mine. Which means that unless Gigabyte releases an update, or some enterprising programmer comes out with a secondary boot utility (kind of like Hackintoshes use), that will boot off of a USB drive, and then prompt for an ATA password, feed it to the drive, and then boot off of the newly-unlocked drive, then I'm going to hold off on my SSD purchase.
That is, if my BIOS doesn't silently "security lock" the drive(s) during boot, such that I cannot even send the ATA password to the drives, after the main BIOS boots. I'll have to investigate that. Some BIOSes have a "Virus Protection" switch, which I generally disable. (I always used to think that it simply blocked BIOS disk writes to the MBR, but perhaps that was back in the 386 days, and these days, it security locks the drive, such that some virus cannot come along and password-protect your HD on you.)
