So the G2 are the postville SSDs then?
TRIM is not built in to any OS except Windows 7. When 7 is released, Intel will issue firmware update to these G2 drives so they can start using TRIM in Win7.Quote:

if you have some advices, I will be glad :)
PCWorld.fr speaks about a mysterious X25-V in the end of the year from an Intel Slide Roadmap.
Somebody has newz concerning this SSD ?
I just ordered mine and have only used Vertex before. Can not say G2 is better than G1, but all the benchmark and articles out there say that G2 is slightly faster. If you install on Vista or Win 7, the disk should be alligned automatically. If installed on XP, you need to allign the drive first. After that, usage will probably show about the same, although some threads in this forum say Win 7 especially loves SSD's. I know for sure that for best results, I will flash the firmware from Intel that supports TRIM, then install 7 on it.Quote:

I would assume the V stands for value since we already have the M = mainstream and E = extreme.Quote:

Still better than Newegg though. :mad: Very bad Newegg!!
No, the blue part is incorrect. I'm not sure what you're trying to pull here, but you are wrong. The specification is called "SATA Revision 3.0". This is a hardware enthusiasts forum. It's use is perfectly correct.Quote:

Once again, "SATA 6 Gbit/s" is only the product name, not the name of the actual specification/standard. It even says so in your quote. So, don't give me that thumbs down bs.Quote:
SATA Revision 3.0

Any chance that roadmap names a X25-E G2 part with possible dates?Quote:

It says I should receive the drive today. :shocked: wow I doubt it came from NY that fast, probably from a CA warehouse.. Looking forward to try this out on my ASUS RAMPAGE II GENE x58 setup.. :yepp:Quote:

Do you guys find that 80GB is enough for an OS/App drive?
I just got my shipping notice as well. Expected delivery is Friday (I paid the $2.99 for two day shipping, so sue me =P), and it's coming from California.Quote:

I agree, maybe the Intel V series equals Kingston's V series, JMicron controller ( 64KB cache) based. Hope not.Quote:

ZZF is pulling a newegg now on us.
