NuclearShadow Hmm two 120GB's for $438 or one 240GB for $499? Even if you try to justify that price due to it being a single drive with all that storage it doesn't make up the fact that superior performance can be had with RAID 0.Reply
Or if one prefers not putting all their eggs in one basket two drives are less likely to both fail compared to a one. -
Glad i waited so long for this technology to mature... my next build will have a couple of something like these in raid 0.Reply

joytech22 Oh bloody hell now I wish I didn't just buy the SSD I just finished buying.Reply
I think I'll keep the 120GB version in my sights though. -

On the other hand, running with two drives also means you're twice as likely to encounter drive failure. And if you're doing RAID 0 losing one drive will result in losing both.
