You wouldn't believe what a difference a good SSD can make to a laptop whose slowest and weakest component is a 4200rpm hard drive.

How about 7 full PCI-E, with no other slots in sight.

wow, just looked at their price on amazon. certainly correct on that. this thing would end up costing as much as your whole computer, let alone just the mobo.]]>Sep 3rd 2009 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/final-press-shots-emerge-of-oczs-z-drive-shipments-still-forev/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/final-press-shots-emerge-of-oczs-z-drive-shipments-still-forev/Sep 3rd 2009 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/final-press-shots-emerge-of-oczs-z-drive-shipments-still-forev/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/final-press-shots-emerge-of-oczs-z-drive-shipments-still-forev/Sep 3rd 2009 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/final-press-shots-emerge-of-oczs-z-drive-shipments-still-forev/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/final-press-shots-emerge-of-oczs-z-drive-shipments-still-forev/Sep 3rd 2009 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/final-press-shots-emerge-of-oczs-z-drive-shipments-still-forev/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/final-press-shots-emerge-of-oczs-z-drive-shipments-still-forev/Sep 3rd 2009 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/final-press-shots-emerge-of-oczs-z-drive-shipments-still-forev/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/final-press-shots-emerge-of-oczs-z-drive-shipments-still-forev/Sep 3rd 2009 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/final-press-shots-emerge-of-oczs-z-drive-shipments-still-forev/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/final-press-shots-emerge-of-oczs-z-drive-shipments-still-forev/
You also only need around 105MBps write speed for uncompressed HD video. It is A LOT less if you record using the compressed codec options.

Same story for the SSD's, they are coming down in price to where I am about to bite but $1500? or $7000 for the enterprise class PCIe SSD?

I will wait for intel to start shipping the X25-M Gen2 again, and put two 80G drives in a raid0 stripe and boot my O/S off that. No slots required, uses two sata channels on the ICH10R, no raid controller to buy, $500 total cost. With the extra $1000, I could easily add a SATA raid controller and 4TB in a RAID 5 configuration. Just run a snapshot of the SSD stripe set over to the RAID5 every so often.

Viola! My own HSM solution.]]>Sep 3rd 2009 10:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/final-press-shots-emerge-of-oczs-z-drive-shipments-still-forev/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/final-press-shots-emerge-of-oczs-z-drive-shipments-still-forev/Sep 3rd 2009 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/final-press-shots-emerge-of-oczs-z-drive-shipments-still-forev/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/final-press-shots-emerge-of-oczs-z-drive-shipments-still-forev/Sep 3rd 2009 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/final-press-shots-emerge-of-oczs-z-drive-shipments-still-forev/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/final-press-shots-emerge-of-oczs-z-drive-shipments-still-forev/

And could someone tell me how i can calculate bottlenecks? Or some online-calculator?
