[modboxx]

Dayum... time to fork over some cash and grab 3x60 GB's.. :|

I was going to do the same, i even order 3x60 from the egg but i just seen the review anand posted and i think i rather get 2x80 x25m's

bad move IMO, for the price of two X25 why not buy 3 or 4 Vertex and RAID them?....then buy a 2TB for storage?

2x80 x25s is $686
3x60 vertex is $660

2x80 x25s is $686
3x60 vertex is $660

Why not 3x30?
90gb too small?

Yeah dude, I need some more room.

I'm actually lost right now, I was able to get them to cancel the order but I just don’t know what to order now.

This review couldn’t of come at a worse time

This Page is why i'm second guessing myself. What do you think?

Why did you cancel it ? The M is the faster drive according to the review so if the two options cost the same then I don't see what the issue is?

I cancelled the 3 vertex drives to order the two x25m's but now i dont know.

No it came at a good time because you still have time to decide!

I would bare in mind that this review was done on old firmware, and from the limited real world tests that was carried out there doesn't appear much in it, between the two!

It might be worth putting your order on hold until we know how the new raid firmware performs, at which point I think it will be unlikely future FW will squeeze any more raw power out of the drives, but will just add more features such as TRIM & ACHI!

I'm not 100% sure but I have a feeling AHCI would help here?

The world of warcraft loading time difference is actually very large. Too bad they didn't do more tests so we could see if that is the norm or if it is an outlier.

Keep in mind that as time goes by those real world differences will increase more as the CPUs, RAM, etc. will get faster and SSDs will be stressed more. Right now you can put some slower SSD (like samsung SLC) by side with something that is a lot faster in every way (like x25-e) and the real world differences won't be anywhere as massive because there are other things holding the X25 back...

My (3) 30GB vertex's which will be raided will be here tomorrow, and my x-25m will be here a couple of days later. Cost was very similar between the two setups.

Post a list of the benmarks you would like see between both setups and I'll do what I can.
