Yeah for faster random read performance. :)
Seems more onboard ram helps.
We have a new RR and RW King :up:
Awesome product Intel :clap:
Perkam

Hell yeah, finally. Affordable Intel drives. I think I'm gonna go shopping for some 80's and a 160 for my lappy very soon :D
when are the new intel ones with the new controllers coming out?
they are already out, they are listed everywhere and some shops have them listed as incoming in the next 2-3 days.Quote:

Sequential read performance by SATA 3Gbps interface.Quote:

alot (or by this are you talking about sequential?)Quote:

wait for the anandtech real world test, probably done by tomorrow
I want to see the performance of an X25-E with this new controller. Sequential Writes are already awesome with the X25-E (but would get a minor boost), along with a decent boost for Sequential Read and both Random Reads & Writes.Quote:

Less detailed than Anand's preview.
Thats sweet news. I'm definitely getting a 160gb one. I might wait until Windows 7 is released, or I might just go ahead and get one now. Can't decide.
Methinks I am going to get a 160gb X25-M G2 as soon as I can :D. I may go for the 80 though if the price/GB is about the same... I have a 64GB Samsung SLC SSD I'm using now and it's just a scrap too small (60gb formatted). I think the 80GB might fit everything I want with room for more later, just fine, though it never hurts to have the extra room. The 'Bay price for my drive is actually pretty darn high still for recent sold auctions and would nearly cover the 160, so it's just a question of whether or not I need the extra room or if I want extra money :p: .
Links? I've only found one shop with them on a pre-order over in the U.S.Quote:
