    not bad :)
    The new generation arrives and I hope this will reduce the prices
    also we have to wait to see the new generation from Intel and other companies to get a good picture of the performance we can get.
    But this start to become interesting...

    Excuse me TOM and editors! how about a update to graphics and SSD Charts i'm dieing to know how all the new SSD, Inferno,collosus LT,Real SSD, Phoenix Series Stack up against old rival Intel, maybe price performance comparison with raid zero configurations to make up of low capacity of some of these drives.

    Intel better come out with something fast. The only reason id buy one of their was for the capacities, as 80 gigs seems perfect for a ssd. Now with a decent competitor at those capacities, Intel drives lose that, and to be honest are fairly slow compared to a lot of new drives out now. No ssd is really slow though. They just have have the write speed of this, and no where near the read.

    SSDs need few more years, maybe 2011 or early 2012 to see some decent prices with these drives. They are still too expensive for most people.

    When SATA II is saturated. Until you use up all of SATA II's bandwidth, then there's not much point using SATA III.

    I currently get the same 4k performance out of my Intel G2 SSD........which will definitely be cheaper than this
