First OCZ Core Series SSD results!

[Helmore]

Or simple things like how much faster their virus scan is after getting one of these or copying a folder loaded with images of fairly small size to it.

1x benchmarks enough? we gotta see 2x 4x 8x @ true hard raid0

as for the feel of ssd and how it performs.. benches aint enough gotta see it for yourself

I wanna know how usable the system is while I'm making a copy of a pictures folder and large movie folder on the drive and try to run some various apps at the same time.
What are the app load times then!?
idle system load time vs. stressed with copying load time.
Will it be dead slow?

Q: I wanna know how usable the system is while I'm making a copy of a pictures folder and large movie folder on the drive and try to run some various apps at the same time.
A: Very Usable

Q: What are the app load times then!?
A: Almost instant. Photoshop loads in 2 seconds, other so fast you hardly notice.

Q: idle system load time vs. stressed with copying load time.
A: No real differance that I can tell, even copying DVD ISO's from drive to drive.

Q: Will it be dead slow?
A: Short answer, it's dead fast !

I know it's not a fair comparison

4Is that with RAID or only 1 drive?

[Helmore]

Probably his RAID, at least that's what he is implying to me with his "I know it's not a fair comparison".
His RAID is something that many of us can only dream about....
Although I hope that will change in the future.

Please test windows startup time as well, single vs. raid

[sonofander]

saw a deal for the 64gb version for just under $250... Almost time to bite

[Glyph]

I'm biting, saving up my pennies to get one this christmas

[RealTelstar]

I decided to wait for the micron realssd and intel offerings.

[XS Janus]

It looks like these drives are no longer the thing to crave for...
Long live OCZ Core V2!


Six months at least.

start up time is definitely snappier but board's usual delay in detecting mem/devices on boot up skews the start up time results anyway heh
