Best performing/value SSD or duo, at 40-100GB?

Interesting point, wonder if they'll loose out to indilinx and postville based drives in the longer term as result of that...

Interesting point, wonder why that is exactly, just more mature controller/fw?

Same extent? X25-V should have a notable edge over 2x 30GB Vertex!

What does "TRIM support in RAID mode for drives that not part of a RAID volume" mean?

The Indlinx drives will either be relegated to the budget corner or discontinued, hard to predict which one it will be. Intel and Samsung should both have new ssds out later this year, based on experience their previous ones will just disappear.

Really not sure what causes them to suck less in worst case scenarios, it seems related to how the controller / fw deals with NCQ, but thats just a educated guess.

What I meant is that they both come with the same ups and downs if you raid them.

You can have the sata controller in the chipset set to raid mode and set up a raid array with some drives and have the ssd hooked up to the same controller but not as part of the raid array, like for example if you have a single ssd as a boot drive and 2x 1TB mechanical drives in raid 1 for storage on one and the same controller.

LOL, is that all that means...
Well that's def. not TRIM support for RAID via intel's new ICH10 drivers, LAME.
Hope they still have plans!
