It's an article about some Intel SSDs they're releasing soon, but it still has relevent data, and some potential reasons for not buying these ones...]]>Sep 30th 2008 9:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/I didn't notice actual speeds given, but it's very informative and interesting]]>Sep 30th 2008 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/Sep 30th 2008 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/
Whats the MTBF? What kind of write leveling (if any)?]]>Sep 30th 2008 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/Sep 30th 2008 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/

Most cheap SSD's at the moment have massive issues with random writes, so while it might blaze through file transfers, in normal use it will cause the computer to actually feel slower.

I recommend that everyone planning on buying one looks out for a good review beforehand, otherwise you'll just be wasting your money]]>Sep 30th 2008 8:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/
And yes, that article is very important... i was kinda questioning these drives cus Super Talent was one of the manufactures named in with the abysmal random write performance issues.

Mayhaps they changed the controller? I hope so...]]>Sep 30th 2008 9:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/Sep 30th 2008 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/Sep 30th 2008 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/
I'm waiting for

1) Intel SSDs to drop in price
2) Toshiba to offer them in its laptops]]>Sep 30th 2008 8:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/Sep 30th 2008 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/Sep 30th 2008 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/super-talent-intros-a-sub-300-128gb-solid-state-drive-thing/
