wish i read this first about the crucial c300.MANY ppl in the crucial forums also having similar issues.
"The drive would not longer be detected on POST. In fact, with the C300 connected to any machine I couldn't get any OS to boot; the system would just hang at drive detection. After a couple of weeks of toying with my dead drive, Crucial came back to me with an explanation of what's going on."

ok so i got the amazing cucial c300 128 gig drive on day of release.first week it flew like the wind,games loaded in seconds,win7 install time 8min.second week started to just freeze up for like 10 seconds sometimes in windows 7,cntrl +alt+delete command would be VERY slow to respond.third week would not boot into win7 at all,just hang.a repair would be needed to boot into win7.started reading up on other problems with this drive and said for $500 this should be almost flawless,i mean getting to the point of not even booting in windows???see ya...crucial told me firmware releases are coming,i said cool im returning it,its good when it works..so full refund money back and back to square 1.



so im thinking nice and simple route(not really) but i just want raw performance for cheapest money spent(sub$450)....mabye 3x30 gig ocz vertex,s in raid0??.i need some input on this plz.i also know the ocz vertex pro 2 version is coming out(looks dam good).im running the gigabyte ud3r x58 mobo.any thoughts on what controller on this board to use or buy a cheap raid card???seems to me ALOT of ppl are getting incredible scaling and yields from these smaller cheaper 30-40 gig drives in raid 0 using 2-4 of them vs 1 big drive.
