Similar to what Brahmzy is saying. From using both a vertex and x25-m there is zero perceived OS loading between the two. The only place you can really tell the difference is when you are creating/copying/saving large files such as iso's PSD files .RAR's etc.

When SSD's were too expensive to fit 'many' working files sequential write speed wasn't much of an issue. But now SSD's are getting bigger and cheaper many of us can now begin to work directly with files off our SSD's because they are now becoming big enough to do so, at least at a more reasonable cost.

I think people are now underestimating the importance of sequential speed, and the all round performance of a drive as a whole.

A couple of 120gb Turbos 'should' give you roughly the following.
240gb of space
550mb/s Reads
400mb/s Writes

A couple of 80gb G2's 'should' give you roughly the following.
150gb of space
550mb/s Reads
160mb/s Writes

Of course I'm not currently sure of the price differences there will be when both are 'fully' released.
Apparently the Turbos will be replacing all the Vertex's but the Vertex will still receive full support.
